Sorry, an iron spring cannot be welded. I am assuming you are trying to weld two halves of a spring together...This cannot happen because metallurgicaly the spring is tempered upon completion out of one long piece of iron. No weld can mimic the temper and tensile strength of the original material. Your best bet is to fabricate a shelf to locate both halves of the spring in, thereby achieving complete height and retaining original temper.

What type of electrode can you weld cast iron with?
nickel
How can you weld the pump case which is made with cast iron?

One should never cut or weld directly against?
You should not weld on concrete, as it can explode if heated
How do you weld spring steel?
hello what is filler metal (electrode) for welding of spring steel like 1.5142, 1.5225, 1.7138? regards
Do cvs sell iron glue for cars?
There is no 'iron glue', however, J B Weld will stick most iron and steel very well.
Can you weld cast iron to mild steel?
Yes, it is possible to weld cast iron to mild steel, but it requires specific techniques and precautions due to their differing properties. A high-nickel alloy electrode or filler material is often used to accommodate the differences in thermal expansion and to minimize cracking. Preheating the cast iron before welding and controlling the cooling rate afterward can also help improve weld integrity. Proper preparation and technique are essential for a successful weld.
What is peening in welding?
It is one way to "Stress Relieve" the weld joint. As the weld metal metal cools it contracts and hammering on the weld expands it. On thick sections it is done after every layer of weld. Often used when welding cast iron or other metals with a low COE (Coefficient of Expansion).
How do you repair a crack in a plastic radiator?
weld it with nylon rod using iron plastic welder.
Can you weld a cracked cast iron pot belly stove?
yes, with a cast iron rod and an oxy-fuel set up or with a nickel rod and an arc machine
How do you change the you u joints on a 1992 4 runner?
you take the leaf spring and cut it on half and then weld it back on and our problem is fixed

What is easier to weld carbon steel or cast iron?
any steel or alloy of iron and carbon having a carbon percentage of above 0.3% is difficult to weld. carbon steel can have maximum carbon percentage of about 2% and cast iron with carbon percentage between 2% to 4%. the welding of any iron alloy with carbon percentage above 0.3% becomes difficult because of the formation of the martensite in the welding areas, heat affected zone etc., the fusion welding process which is usually employed to weld carbon steel and cast iron takes the metal or alloy to their respective melting point (in this case about 1650 C) which is above the austenizing temperature of most steel and cast iron. when the weld is finished it undergoes a process similar to hardening. the nearby non heated parts of the welded material acts as the cold bath resulting in the hardening process which involves sudden cooling for the formation of martensite which is very brittle, any pressure applied will crack the weld immediately. hence before welding the nearby parts of the material to be welded is preheated so that they wont act as any cold bath. but any way cast irons are very difficult to weld than the steels. this is because of the fact that the martensite formed is as a result of trapped carbon atoms in the iron crystal making a distorted body centered tetragonal crystal structure(martensite). higher the percentage of carbon the martensite formation is even better. hence cast irons are especially difficult to weld. design engineers never suggest a welding process for cast iron. cast irons are welded only when there is no other choice but to weld it.
