Any tips or suggestions on welding cast to steel? Also what kind of preparation should I do?

You should consult a qualified welder. Asking this sort of
question on a news group is asking for big problems. If you
need to weld these sorts of things I'm guessing that if the
welds failed it would be very bad. That means you need to
do it correctly. And that means you need somebody who
knows the job and will stand by the results.
That aint the net.

My technique, learned through bitter experience, is that if I need to weld
something out of the ordinary, I buy a six-pack and ask the neighbor who
is a professional welder and can weld balsa wood to peanut butter to
mil-spec to do it.

Use the frickin' nickel welding rod that you would ordinarily use for
welding cast iron, that might work. |

alex Fool around with a car 12 volt battery,and use jumper cables to
hold the rod and cast iron. use a soft wire coat hanger for your welding
rod. Wear gloves and dark sun glasses. It will give a a feel of how to
weld. Do it out doors. Do not be afraid. Every thing I know and every
experiment I have done I have done it on my own. People argue that a 12
volt battery won't work,but these people never tried. Spot welding is
what I am talking about. Bert |

Moron Herbie may be, but the worst alex will get is a burn from[/quote]
a spark and Herbie told him to wear gloves, he's not murderous.
alex will probably weld the coat hanger to the job first. And don't
babble about hydrogen from the battery, I get more methane (CH4,
natural gas) heating my boiler than he'll ever get H2. I've blown
acetylene mixed with oxygen into a toy balloon under pressure, too.
It's a nice pop when lit but it doesn't kill.
The right way to weld steel to cast iron:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxy-fuel_welding_and_cutting
Hydrogen has a clean flame and is good for use on aluminium. It can be used
at a higher pressure than acetylene and is therefore useful for underwater
welding and cutting. It is a good type of flame to use when heating large
amounts of material. The flame temperature is high, about 2,000 °C for
hydrogen gas in air at atmospheric pressure, and up to 2800 °C when
pre-mixed in a 2:1 ratio with pure oxygen (oxyhydrogen). |

Herb, you were luck you didn't get covered with acid. You are one
lucky fool! |

Sam No luck needed. Done it 100s of times. battery does not even get
hot. Best to keep in mind diameter of wire obeys the inverse square law
and go back and read my post. I use jumper cables,but I do not think you
understand what I am saying. Point of contact is what gets red hot and
melt the iron rod. soft iron is best for light welding. lead is used for
soldering,but you must use a flux(acid) with it for bonding I know all
this is going over the heads of low wits,but in reality their heads
should be up this high Go figure bert |

Ask at rec.crafts.metalworking. Nickel rod, preheat the part and lots of
hammering while still hot I believe.

100s implies at least 200 times. I find that very hard to believe. |
