Yes, but finding someone skilled in cast welding is difficult. Some shops will weld up rare blocks for collectible vehicles that are rarely driven, but if its a daily driver, many will pass. Best is to call around to tractor shops to see if they recomend anyone.

Why is the coolant not staying in the car?
Most likely you have a leak when the system is pressurized (engine running and at normal operating temperature). A radiator shop will be able to pressure test your coolant system and find the leak. Could also have a cracked engine block, or a hairline crack that expands when the casing gets hot.
Will increasing the flow rate of coolant cool the engine faster?
No, if the coolant circulates too quickly it will not have time to cool down and re-cool the engine. The coolant would become extremely hot, and cause your engine to overheat and thus causing possible engine damage.
What should you do if your engine overheats?
Do not have your car on. First step is to make sure your car has enough engine coolant, if you are low, buy some at the store and put it in its proper place for your car(If you do not know where that is then consult your owner's manual for engine or engine coolant.) If that is not the problem, then it is possible that you have a leak somewhere from the coolant container to your engine. Either check for any possible holes or loose connections or take it into an auto repair shop.
