The information posted by [b[metengr[/b] is very good and should be used if possible.
In our old textile manufacturing plant we had to weld all the irons to CS. We welded Ductile, Malleable. Meehinite, and many others, some for the thirties.
The only absolute way to weld the Irons to CS would be to heat the materials to above 1325°F and weld at temperature. As this is normally impractical, an alternate approach is to weld “cold”, in other words get the heat input down by “painting” the metal instead of welding. This is possible due the filler being so much stronger than the base iron. This process takes a little getting use to by a good welder because it profanes all he has learned about welding. The success rate is very high even on some of the older oil soaked irons. On very dirty iron we will try to run them through the Pyrolysis Furnace to achieve the cleanest surface possible.
We use a Chronotron electrode 210 or a Certaium 889
