How do you weld cast iron with an oxy acetylene torch with a cast iron rod?

I am not aware of a cast iron rod for oxy acetylene welding, I am for arc welding, For cast, I use a brazing rod, a brass or copper alloy, but what do I know. If there is a cast rod available, it would be the same process, get the cast you are welding hot almost to the point of melting, bring in the rod, heat it at the same place and bring both to a melting point. Work from that point along the crack or joint you are welding.

You need not use brazing rod for case iron welding. You get arc welding electrodes for cast iron. Use appropriate grade of rod for your case iron under welding.

Why can acetylene torch be used to weld metals together?
Acetylene torches can be used to weld metals together because they have a higher temperature than the metal's melting point.
Did welders use oxygen gas to weld anything?
Yes, oxygen is used in a process called oxygen- acetylene welding and brazing. Oxygen- acetylene welding mixes the two gases to producea flame to melt the metal to be welded. Afiller materialisfed into the "puddle" to form the weld. It is used normally on thin metals and cast metals. Brazing is much the same but the filler material is coated in a flux to keep impurities out of the weld. It is used on cast steels and cast iron.
How do you do a chemical weld?
Oxy-acetylene is concidered a chemical weld.
Why can an acetylene torch be used to weld metals together?
it is an alkyne that burns at about 3500 degrees Celsius, much higher then most metals melting point.
What type of electrode can you weld cast iron with?
nickel
How can you weld the pump case which is made with cast iron?

Can you weld with argon instead of acetylene?
No. Argon is not flammable.
Can metallic bonds be formed from a welded joint?
Yes, welding of metals typically involves heating and fusion in resistance welding, arc welding, acetylene torch welding. Metallic bonds are formed between the substrate and the weld. The composition of the weld and the substrate around the weld inevitably is different from the material being welded.
One should never cut or weld directly against?
You should not weld on concrete, as it can explode if heated
How do you put acetylene in a sentence with at least 10 words?
Many welders still prefer to mix oxygen and acetylene gases when performing a weld.
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
What are uses of each one of the oxyacetylene flames?
There are three distinct types of oxy-acetylene flames, usually termed: -Neutral: The neutral flame will usually have no chemical effect on the metal being welded. -Carburizing (or excess acetylene): It will cause an increase in the carbon content of the weld metal. -Oxidizing (or excess oxygen ): It will oxidize or "burn" some of the metal being welded. The type of flame produced depends upon the ratio of oxygen to acetylene in the gas mixture which leaves the torch tip.
