There is nothing that the average homeowner can do.

I'd call a couple of metal fabrication shops and see if they can
spotweld. Next choice would be a regular weld job, but that will leave
a bead.

I have no idea of cost, but I'd expect to pay $25 to $50. Maybe with
the story of sentimental value you can get it done for a six-pack.

I have my grandmother's Club Aluminum Dutch Oven and I'd pay a
ridiculous amount of money if I had to fix it. It has to be pushing 100
years old, but had great memories of pot roast.
