Do you want a second ringpiece? Of course take it back.
Looks to me like its just in the finish
It's going back 🙂 Just wanted my hand held 🙂
looks like a crack in the heat affected zone (HAZ) of a weld to me hard to tell but i'm assuming the flange bit is welded to the tube
but my long a go background is production rather that physical met'
Looks a bit suspicious - almost looks like tube section has moved wrt the welded-on clamp, and the line is where the weld ends.
That's not welded, it's a one-piece forging.

It'll be a ring-piece forcing if he's not careful...
Whatever it is, I wouldn't ride it! Bin it.

well it does look like it my lord but Bez is correct - just looked it up and web sites says its a one piece forging
