Welding Cast Iron Visual Inspection and Testing. I recently repaired some cast iron using Muggy Weld electrodes. During that episode, some of the viewers said the part I was welding was cast steel, even though we spark tested and drill tested it. I figured this would be a great opportunity to cut open our weld and do some more testing and experiments. Welding cast iron can be tricky because it is prone to cracking. In this episode I show you a 3rd option to help determine if something is cast iron and then we weld it up again using some 6010 electrodes on the Blue Demon welder. Many inverter welders wont run a 6010 rod. We then try solid mig wire, followed by TIG welding with some mild steel filler wire, then we experiment with TIG welding some 316L stainless filler wire. The results are what you would expect from no pre and post heat with a continuous weld. I hope you enjoyed these experiments as much as I did doing them!
BE SURE TO TUNE IN NEXT WEEK! WE ARE GOING TO BE DOING SOMETHING WITH CAST IRON THAT HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE! THEN WE ARE DOING A COMPLETE REPAIR FROM START TO FINISH!
