I have a cast part in the shop that needs a retension ring groove welded up and then machined back in. The weld has to be machinable when done. High nickle rod? Or something else? Preheat to 500 degrees or keep cool?

I am a retired automotive machinist. I have used the cast rod with a torch and it works good.I prefer to use a spray torch . The powder is costly but very machineable no pits.Go to www.goodson.com they have a online cat.To see what they look like.You can buy the torch and powder from a welding supply at a reasonable price.They have assortment of powder with different rockwell of hardness.With a little practice its amazing what you can repair.Earl In Illinois

Cast iron can be readily welded using the oxy-fuel process, cast iron rod (actual sticks of cast iron) and the proper flux. Rod and flux are available from any good welding supply house. This requires plenty of weld prep/beveling and pre-heat/post-heat but welds are strong and machinable. I have used it on many repairs thought to be beyond Ni-rod and arc welding.

Ni rod is the only way to go with cast, if your lucky you can perheat which is better. But is is also hard to grind etc.

Hi DR,

I'll let George answer this question as if you've ever been to his website and looked at his work, He cleary is an expert at welding castiron as has far more experience than me on welding castiron.

My e-mail is open if you need to e-mail.

T Bone,

Thanks for the compliment, I have been tinkering with cast iron for the last 25 years . Maybe with a little luck I'll learn how to do it. The description that I got in the email sounded
like either oxy/acet or fusible spray weld repair. In a situation like that arc weld would be a bear
to get welded clean and an even bigger problem to
remachine.
