I was just trying to find out what process is being used for this so that I can decide whether or not to give it a try.
cool story....I've actually welded cast iron a lot, not talked about it....the weld will not break if the welder is good, in Cody's case, he has a great welder, so it will be fine. Cast aluminum is a bitch to weld, maybe you're thinking of that.....
