Might capacitive discharge "spot welding" work for this application?

Da Need to (re)connect the nichrome wire to the insulated, stranded
Da supply wire. The existing (now overheated and useless, due to heat via
Da bad connection) connection is a rivet (stainless?) with the nichrome
Da wrapped around the head, and a brass (looking) crimp on the backside
Da that accepts the supply wire.
Da Barring an original replacement item, what replacements would you
Da recommend? Most crimp ring terminals aren't brass. Should I use brass?
Da A rivet would be difficult to install here. Would a threaded fastener
Da (nut & bolt) be sufficient? Stainless?

Da Thanks,
