    Guide Welding Iron Castings: 1. Scope and History

    Uploaded by

    Paola Cerna
    This document provides a guide for welding iron castings. It discusses the different types of cast iron and their relative weldability. Various welding processes like shielded metal arc, gas metal arc, and flux cored arc welding can be used to weld cast iron. The document recommends procedures for qualifying welding procedures, operators, and welders to ensure quality welds. It also describes the metallurgy and microstructure of different types of cast iron like gray iron and ductile iron and how these properties impact their weldability.
