No disrespect intended. It's not hit&miss or 50/50 if you get someone that knows how to weld that up with Nickel Rods. And nickle rods only. I can't half see and my back's shot or I'd be glad to help. Hope you find an OldSchool welder Friend.
Clean, clean, clean!…Degrease, grind out crack, stop drill ends…clean some more.... Pre heat, high nickel wire, peen it, and slow cool. Lots of pulse on the welder…
Note: The rods/wire labled "for cast iron" are complete junk. In my experience anyway .... no body died walking around the centrifuges or mills I had to weld up for CPC lol.
Cast is an entirely animal. There are multiple types and compositions of cast iron (white iron in particle is unweldable). Without knowing that composition you are quite literally guessing whether or not you are using the correct filler material and procedure. Not all cast calls for high nickel based rod. You might be better with a stainless rod or possibly a brazed joint.
Ive followed weld procedure to a T and still watched the weld crack in half because we had no idea what the metallic composition was.
^^^^^theres your welder^^^^^^ looking closely at your pics, it looks like it’s been welded before…
Definitely been welded before. Looks like is cracked right down the center too...
Engineers and welding dont belong in the same sentence unless "dont know s***about" is between them.
They call us when they have a question about welding and writing a weld procedure lol.
thanks to all.
