Specifications
The Cast Iron Rod is a high-quality gray iron oxy-acetylene welding rod designed for gas welding of cast iron, general fabrication, and the buildup of new or worn surfaces on castings. It produces machinable weld deposits that match the original gray iron's color, composition, and granular structure, resulting in a weld that can be as strong as the original casting.
Commonly used to repair machine bases, engine blocks, cylinder heads, and gear housings, this rod requires specific procedures for best results, including preheating to 800°F, using a neutral flame to prevent porosity, and allowing the part to cool slowly after welding to prevent hardening and cracking. Weldcote Cast Iron Flux is necessary for good cleaning and protection during the fusion welding process.
