Cast Iron Machining Repair
Cast Iron Machining Repair
(OP)
I have a casting with an 1.25" DIA hole that has been drilled 1" from its correct location. The assembly consists of mating flanges and the mating component has already been machined correctly. The section thickness at this point is approximately 8". Material is ASTM 126 CL B. If the section was not so thick I would be comfortable with weld repair, however, with such a thick section I am looking for any suggestions other than scrap it! Good size castings so I hate to see it go to waste - 4000 lbs.

It is always sad to see a good casting go waste.

The mating flanges are clamped in compression, however, the assembly is structural and carries high shear loads longitudinal to the joint.
