Watching with great interest! If the sheet metal corners don't work out, what about starting with a preformed starting piece, like a bbq, salad bowl, pressed pan or lid that you wouldn't have to shrink or stretch so dramatically?
Amazon.com: Concept Housewares 14 Inch Aluminum Wok Lid: Kitchen & Dining
Or perhaps there's a cast corner from commercial truck bodies that could fit? (Yeah, those are based on 90 degree corners,)
aluminum castings, corner caps casting, aluminum body corp corner caps, a.m haire old style corner caps, aluminum castings, babb corner caps, continental corner caps, truck corner caps, truck corner caps castings
Dunno if your metalworking skills have ever branched into lost foam aluminum casting? (Making em light enough might be a challenge, even in aluminum.)
