Aron,
My best guess is a piece of steel with a high carbon spot. This is not
uncommon today with cheap off-shore material. The same thing can happen when
using non-DOM tubing ( electric resistance welded) when you weld over the
joining spot in the tubing. It would be best to trash the bracket. If you
can make a sleeve to cover the frame because the spot you welded to is
contaminated and will not weld very well no matter how much you grind it
out. As a LAST resort, you could use SS rod BUT it a brittle joint!!!
Been there!!!
Good Luck, joe
