corrosive is a loose term..........316L SS as a guess.

No do not weld it, it can tear your pump apart.

Please, specify the pump service ( pressure, temperature, fluid, etc. ) or copy a technical data sheet of the pump.

Not recommende to weld shafts especially under corrosive conditions the weld could suffer and be destroyed very quickly
