In Reply to: What is best method to weld cast iron? posted by DG on Monday, February 10, 2003 at 8:11PM :
or maybe it is cast steel, then weld it with whatever you got. To tell steel from cast iron, drill a small hole into it and examine the chips. Steel= long curley chips, cast iron= powder, even with sharp bit, malleable iron makes a mix of short chips and powder.
