Got Cast Iron To Weld?

Got Cast Iron To Weld? Welding cast iron is easy with Magna 770 rod. Starting at $330/lb., the electrodes aren’t cheap, but they’re money-back guaranteed. They provide machinable welds on nearly all types of cast iron without preheating. “Magna 770 welds have a much higher elongation, or stretch capability, than cast iron, so they won’t crack,” says Jimmy Morris of Brecko Corporation, the U.S. distributor for Magna welding alloys. “Their 58,500 psi tensile strength is stronger than most cast iron. The rods are popular for repairing any type of cast iron that is not easily or cheaply replaceable, and when broken machinery needs to be put back in service immediately. The 770 comes in three sizes, 3/32”, 1/8”, and 5/32”. It can be used with either AC or DC machines, and needs only 40 to 140 amps. Morris says, “Because the rods are so expensive, we have a ‘per rod’ price for smaller customers”. Magna 770 rods 1/8” size are currently $22 each, but we have a “Farm Show Sample Pack” – 5 rods for $100, with only $10 shipping. Magna 720 for burned and dirty cast iron, is much less expensive at $70 per pound. Morris says, “The tensile strength is 50,000 psi, it only comes in 1/8” size”, and it is NOT machinable. “Magna 303 steel rods will weld any steel to any steel and are stronger than any other rods we can find, with tensile strength as great as 128,000 psi”, says Morris.
