Yes I have many times but mostly on cast dies that were used to stamp out sheet metal auto parts. Some cast can be welded others has to be brazed depending on type of cast. If you take a grinder to the metal and the sparks are orange you have to braze it if they are yellow like steel then you can weld with a wire welder but you have to stress releive it as you go by peening it. I don't know if I can explane it all here. It took me a 3 hr class to learn the method when welding. Brazing would be simpler for most. Like Schroll said with JB weld you should drill two holes at the end of crack before brazing also then braze over the screws.
