The part in question looks like the E3D hotend's stainless steel heat break. It is machined thin and fragile to act as an insulator between the heated block and cooling fins. If you replace it with anything else, your hotend will jam after a few minutes of running when the filament melt zone migrates into the cooling fins because the heat break will not be performing its job.
If that is an E3D hotend clone, you may get lucky and find that the genuine E3D part will fit it. Here's the assembly manual with pictures:

According to E3D, the V5 and V6 use heat breaks that are not compatible with each other, so do your homework carefully if you decide to go this route.....
