If the pipe is No Hub cast Iron you can use a mission cap If the cast Iron is bell then you caulk in a cast iron plug If the cast iron is a spigot end you get a transition coupling either standard weight CI or extra heavy and then use a cast iron cap in the transition coupling

Cast iron is, as the name implies, "iron" which has been "cast", or melted and poured into a mold. The material is usually not really pure iron but rather an alloy including carbon and (often) silicon.
A cast iron tub is about 325lbs. steel is about 75lbs. Tap on tub if it sounds solid it is cast iron.
Cast Iron does not rust or corrode as steel can

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.
