Guide for Welding Iron Castings

The term cast iron encompasses a family of ferrous alloys with a variety of metallurgical, mechanical, and physical properties. The chemical composition and welding requirements of the metals vary within the family. This document discusses the relative weldability of various types of cast irons and the filler metals and processes used to weld them. It recommends the steps for qualification of welding procedures, welding operators and welders, and requirements for the quality of welds.
