[TheForge] a blacksmithing question and a ceramic/pottery question

[blakkpawss at yahoo.com]

What does the part do?  Can you do something like JB Weld as a temporary solution until you can fabricate or replace it?

hello

to clarify.

the part in question was either manufactured by lost-wax casting or
powder metal technology. lost-wax casting is not possible at the
moment. powder metal technology is beyond anyone's experience.

i do not think that it is possible to repair the current part. it is not
clear to anyone whether the part may be brazed. Dye penetrant inspection
does show additional cracks in the part. it is unknown just how deep the
cracks are.
