The process of welding cast iron has some special procedures. Since it is a challenging task, people can’t have two different opinions about the same. Unlike most other metals, cast iron has a greater content of carbon. This is the reason why cast iron is brittle which makes it really difficult to weld. If people follow some proper instructions, then the task of welding cast iron can be done at ease.

Written by someone whose first language is not English??? Or really in need of proof reading. Someone who knew nothing other than what is written there would be very confused!
D2-5J's, D6-9U's, D318 and D333 power units, 12E-99E grader, 922B & 944A wheel loaders, D330C generator set, DW20 water tanker and a bunch of Jersey cows to take care of in my spare time😄

I totally agree with ccjersey that this is not very helpful. I have seen better information by watching You Tube vids. I did not even find an reference for using Ni-rod sticks.

Kind of reminded me of a high school term paper...from a high school where, like cc said, English was a second language.

my tips: pre heat with for excample oxy-acyt. tourch, use good welding rods like UTP8 for cast iron , weld short distances, hammer direct the weld after welding for relees of stresses caused by the heat. cool down slow the welded piece.

The pieces you repaired are probably the toughest pieces to repair!
Lots of Carbon Embrittlement!

I think it's some sort of spam - thought there's nothing obvious. I would say to delete the post.
