Welding steel to cast iron 07-22-2012, 06:51 AM. Ductile can be cut, somewhat, with a torch, many times what we call "cast steel" is actually ductile iron. This is the lowest cost electrode for welding cast iron, and the electrode has a very user-friendly arc.

Cast iron is difficult, but not impossible, to weld.

It can tolerate welding on castings that cannot be completely cleaned before welding. The rod is just a filler. Like most welding, the cleaner the surface is, the better your welds will be. In the event you have wrought iron that does break, you can repair it with epoxy weld. MANY cast pieces can be arc welded with plain old 6011 or 7018. The only real downsides to Gas Welding Cast Iron is the amount of heat needed if components are large. If you have success welding something you think is cast iron with a MS electrode, you probably actually have ductile iron. In most cases, welding on cast iron involves repairs to castings, not joining casting to other members.

6011 is a good choice for welding over galvanized. Seriously, they are as good as a flux core 115 volt MIG welder,(if you are pretty good at Stick welding) 2. I want to use the same suspension and install a 9" Ford rear end in the truck, but the '35 Ford suspension brackets are cast iron! It is always preferred to heat the entire casting, if possible. To guarantee a quality weld, it’s best to contract cast iron to a professional.However, by choosing the appropriate weld technique and properly preparing the material, it’s also possible to complete in-house weld repair. (6011 stick rod 1/8 inch) The real trick to cast iron is not really the rod that is used (we are arc welding, which is really just a big spark plug that creates an electrical gap that is so hot it can melt steel. There are some real good rods now for cast iron. Tech-Rod 99 (AWS class ENi-CI) is a nominally 99% Nickel electrode. Use cast rods, will do a much better job and machineable. Preheating the cast iron part before welding will slow the cooling rate of the weld, and the region surround the weld. Do you know how to Mig weld cast iron? Ductile can be welded with either nickel or 7018 or SS, and in some cases, 6011. You can peen the weld until it expands right out of the weld area. Choosing electrodes for welding cast iron typically comes down to three things: cost, machine-ability, and whether the weld is single or multiple pass. Hopefully these parts were just being welded on as scraps, as neither of these rods is indicated for cast iron... 6011 is a fast-freeze rod used for dirty (or clean) surfaces and deep penetration.

Cleaning and Peening Weld Surfaces. Arc/Stick Welding is, arguably, the best all-round process for Welding Cast Iron, provided the correct welding rods … Most pipeline welds are made with multiple passes of 6010 welding rods.

In fact I welded cast iron the other day with it. Welding thin sheet metal, like auto body work. Before any welding project, be sure to clean the casting, pre-heat the alloy, and choose an appropriate welding technique. Multiple pass welds with in the Pipe welding industry are very commonplace. This may be important when repairing cast iron parts such as exhaust manifolds on antique cars. It won't rust and will stick out like a sore thumb.

They work pretty good. It’s a good way to provide a strong hold in a crack or between two components needing joining, while not causing cracking and a change of the cast iron properties. Custom bevel gears are expensive. While I'm at it, peening is NOT beating the hell of the weld!!!
