welding cast iron
Hi guys,
I made a stupid mistake the other day and I am wondering if these is a relative easy eascape?
I have zero experience welding cast iron.
Would it be possible to tack this piece back in place?
Was thinking of veeing out along the crack and making small welds with my Transmig 200.
I have a feeling the only way to do it would be vee the crack, pre-heat the whole casting ( not possible in my case ), make small welds and slowly cool the item over a couple of days, to prevent cracking?
Am I right to think I can't fix this?
Steve
