Loon Yi, The material that I use to repair cast iron is cast iron in the form of a square rod and comes in several sizes. This repair is not brazing , it is oxy/acet welding. Exhaust gases are not hot enough to melt the cast and I have never seen it melt the brazing material . The material in arc weld rods is mostly nickel and not cast iron . Most any form of arc weld on cast does not work well , not to say that it doesn't work just not well . I started out 35 + years ago with the idea that arc would fix most anything but eventually I learned that to fix cast properly you will use oxy/acet and cast iron rod . If done properly and ground it is almost impossible to find the weld as the rod is color match and material match to the work. george
