Pressure cooker repair (inner part developed noooks)

My "antique" PC has a bit of nooks now. Maybe a couple of 1-2mm bores. Nothing serious really but I want to keep this for a couple more years.......
Is it possible to just DIY it and fill it up with low temp aluminum rods?
I just want to prevent it to pierce a hole through as early as now. The TIG welder declined me when I asked him to repair it. Maybe because he's using really strong flames and would compromise the base metal? Im still researching as I wait for my PC run to finish. Its an old model 20.5 quart AA.
Thanks in advance.

Giving you guys an update.
The repair was a success.
I think I might have ran more than 20x cycle no problem.

I could play around with a propane torch and low temp rod, Tig looks like a lot of work.

Yea man, the welder even complained it was hard doing aluminum work. Maybe he aint getting much aluminum projects too.

You cant melt low temp rod where you want it if youre dealing with aluminum as thick as a PC. You just cant heat up the PC at levels required to fuse them. I tried that one. Didnt work.
