1) Inside the cartridge, we see some remains of the absorber (welded aluminum probably bad ...) torn off:
There are still chips from the opening.
2) I "reformed" as best I could the deformed part and we tried (by a pro with my mig) to weld it with MIG aluminum with more or less success on the plate cut from the cartridge ... good it holds.
Before it was not welded at this level, just fitted ... see 4) cause of the breakdown ...
3) Result placed on the paramotor.
There is all the same a "beautiful" relaxation pot with a divergent cone, here is the utility of the pierced part which is detached and deformed in the pot. Note the continuity of the slope of the cone with the widening of the elbow:
4) And probable cause of the failure: a rivet which is locked (and found in the pot) and which was used to crimp the absorber on the plate of the cartridge.
I turned the other rivets because 2 of the 4 remaining were moving ...
5) Tomorrow I will see a professional welder because my mig will not allow to properly reweld the cartridge and I will fix the diverging cone to the cartridge at its largest diameter as it was before (by riveting or if possible point of welding)
