Cast Iron Welding

Has anyone here ever had or used a specialist cast iron welder ? I need a bracket stitching back together and would value recommendation

 

If its just a bracket you may have an easier time brazing it which is what I do unless it's a pressure or heavy load bearing bit of kit.

 

pe heat the job in an oven, and v prep it. use a sinus rod and stick weld. piece of piss

 

Didn't think cast iron could be welded or it would crack ?

Apparently has to be preheated and then cooled slowly, got a local welder friend of a friend that comes highly recommended to do it

 

thats why you pre heat it and use the correct sinus filler rod

 

Very difficult to do properly, it is never as strong as before as it is usually weakened at either side of the weld area. Can be done though by someone who knows what they are doing.

 

It can be done,
