You could JB Weld a curved steel/aluminum patch after roughing up both pieces for gaining good mechanical adhesion.

A few WAG:
Hose vs pipe are 2 separate tasks:
1). Local auto store might be able to match up a new hose.
My first hack thought GET ER DOWN THE ROAD is to use standard hose plug insert-able fix. It must resist internal pressures and water heat.
(Results not guaranteed)
2). Custom piping companies might be able to bend and knurl a new pipe.
Or JBWeld in a screw head and cut off.
