Stick Welding Cast Iron Repair with Muggy Weld

Stick Welding Cast Iron Repair with Muggy Weld. Cast iron can be tricky to repair because it's prone to cracking. Follow along as I repair a broken cast iron exhaust manifold using Muggy Weld with no pre-heat. For this demonstration I used a 2 step process starting with an electrode that can withstand the dirtiest of cast irons followed by a cap that has excellent crack resistance properties. Although I believe a good pre-heat and a slow cool down will give you the best chance for success, i wanted to see how this rod would respond in a worst case scenario such as cold welding. It handled the thermal stresses excellent without any signs of cracking. This would be a huge bonus for parts too big to get a good pre-heat / cool down or for parts that are not cost effective to be removed.

Hit the notifications! We are going to be doing some more experiments with these rods, including tig welding.
