Stan,

The rods and flux that you mention are the
best way to repair cast iron, on heavy sections
or flat areas you will need much preheat minimum
of 900 and best at 1200 deg F in fire brick oven,
and needs post heat of 1500 and slow cool from
1500 to 1200 (half hour). A fast drop in temp from 1500 to 1200 will harden the cast and make
it nonmachinable also makes it brittle and more
likely to crack. The preheat,post heat , and
slow cooling is why arc weld usually fails as
the area around the weld is cool and sucks the
heat away from the weld and surrounding area
causing it to harden and become less ductile.
great recipe for cracks .
Below is a link to website , and the hot link
is to the photo host. There you can see many
things repaired with O/A cast iron welding.
