Welding with cast iron welding rods
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.

Almost all welding today is done with electricity (Arc Welding) even on cast iron. SMAW, GTAW, GMAW etc. --AW means Arc Welding.
Buy a shorter one. Welding Cast Iron is a pain and to do what you want would require cutting out a section and re-welding the whole thing. Baseboard hydraunic heaters can be shortened but cast is a no go.
Cast iron welding rod is designed for the SMAW process which is built by flux and a filler metal that suits the base metal's chemical & mechanical properties.
arc welding such as SMAW (stick), GMAW (mig). Some cast metals may be brazed for certain applications. The actual properties of the Cast metal will be needed for the type of electrode and/or process.
Yes..look up alumaloy welding rods
Arc welding is a type of welding using electricity to heat and fuse metal together. In order to control the process the heat must be controlled by varying the current. MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding uses an inert cast to protect the weld from the air at extreme temperatures during the welding process. You can find a more detailed explanation of <a href=" http://www.trade-equip.co.uk/blog/?p=969 ">Arc Welding here</a>
in order to do welding of CI first it is pre-heated and then welding is done on it and after this very slow cooling is done by putting it in pit and then covering with mud due to this CI retains its ductility
Welding has been around since the Bronze Age when man needed to join two or more pieces of brass/bronze. Forge welding was probably used at this time also. Forge welding as we know it was used during the Iron Age when Cast Iron was developed. But the modern welding you see (Oxyfuel Torches, Plasma Cutters, Mig Guns Etc....) was founded or developed just in the last 110 years or so.
