Recomendado para la soldaduras de mantenimiento general, donde una resistencia alta y una buena ductilidad es requerida, los depósitos de soldadura deben ser maquinables. Comúnmente es usado en las bases de maquina pesadas, las partes del equipamiento, blocks y cabezas de los cilindros.

Procedure

• Preheating to 600°F(316°C) is recommended to decrease stresses and increase tensile strength and ductility. Removing all foreign material by grinding or other means and then searing the iron with a highly oxidizing torch flame will help to eliminate porosity. When welding cast iron to steels,the procedure should be the same as if two pieces of cast iron are being joined together.
