Has anybody had success with welding a broken Ragusa welcome step. Grandson-in-law left it open and hit a curb.

Yes, I hit a rock going down a winding driveway a few years ago. I took it to a shop that can weld aluminum and they weeded back the end that has a pin and it looks good and has held up fine for over ten years.

sofisicated way of welding.

To expand on Jim’s comments, gas tungsten arc welding, also known as tungsten inert gas welding (TIG) , is an arc welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. A filler rod of aluminum which matches the material being repaired is then melted into the puddle. This gives a very clean and strong weld as the inert gas prevents the weld from oxidizing.

I’d be happy to take the broken one off your hands if you decide to get a new one...
