Cast Iron Plate Preparation

LEARNING TO STICK WELD

After welding Cast Iron, protect the casting against fast cooling. Put it in a sand (or lime) box.

If sand or lime is not available, cover it with sheet metal or any other non-flammable material that will exclude drafts and retain heat.

Wherever practical, the joint to be welded should be “veed” out by grinding or filing to give complete pene- tration. This is especially important on thick castings where maximum strength is required . In some instances a back-up strip may be used and plates may be gapped 1/8" (3.2mm) or more.

On sections where only a sealed joint is required and strength is not important, the joint may be welded after slightly veeing out the seam as shown.
