The masthead fitting on my old alloy contender mast (Wavelength) was certainly not welded. It was a fairly easy replacement job - the whole fitting came out - can't remember now if it was riveted or screwed, but you can see an old rivet in the pic up the thread.

I think it should be welded on with a weld all the way round.

Looks like there was a rivet in there once and someone has stuck it back in with silicon, or similar.

ah ok, that's the whole mast head - I was thinking just the sheave.  You should be able to buy a replacement.  Look at the make of the mast then contact a good chandler or the mast maker direct.  You'll probably need to measure the tip of the mast but if you say it is for a contender that should help.
the same, but different...

Easy peasy.
