5.9 Welding of Cast Iron (4) A,
(I) Basic welding pi
(1) Bead length per each pass shall be 50 mm or less (approximately 20 mm is proper). PI
Execute peening after welding (For multi-layer welding, peening shall be executed after
each pass. For the final bead which does not fuse the base metal, peening is not
necessary). (5) B
(2) Use skip welding, symmetric welding or back step welding. s1

(4) Chamfer the edge of the groove.

(5) If the deposited metal does not conform to the base metal when welded with nickel type
electrode, execute buttering with mild steel rod.
(6) Weldment of pure nickel type electrode has higher resistance to crack than iron-nickel
type electrode.

(2) Procedure for repair welding of cast iron product (8) A1

(1) When oil soaks into the object product of cast iron, sufficiently preheat it to remove oili pI
before welding is started.
(2) Sufficiently gouge the part of the defects. If necessary, make stop holes at both ends of:
the crack.
(3) Prepare on edge by grinder or the like.

(4) According to the size of the base metal, preheat until the specified temperature (Small
product needs not be preheated).
Preheating temperature:
Cast iron: 100 to 300 deg.C (nickel type electrode).
Cast steel: 60 to 250 deg.C (low hydrogen type electrode, ilmenite type electrode).
(5) Bead length per pass shall be approximately 50 mm (to prevent overheating, reduce
strain and prevent cracking).
(6) Be sure to execute peening (remove strain by tapping with a hanmer). For each bead,
execute peening until ripple on the bead disappears while the bead is still hot (Tapping I,'
by the sharp edge of test hammer is effective). II
(7)Welding method
,I
Forcomparatively small conical groove, weld spirally starting: From the bottom of the 11,1
groove. I
