Re: welding cast to steel
or a mig, or a tig, or a torch.
doesnt really matter all welding works the same way, melts the metal, and mixes a filler in, it has some sort of flux, and once done (correctly) is very strong.
btw a large mig will burn that together very nicely, just pre heat and post heat.
high nickle filler is only needed when welding cast IRON...... not cast steel

Re: welding cast to steel
Looks good, I'm always confused on the welding of "cast" I would imagine the turbine housing is cast steel? I have always had good luck welding them and factory cast turbo manifolds.
Now other things which are much more grainy and brittle I assume are cast iron?? I never have any good luck welding. I have tried it with 70 and 308 and 309 and it always breaks right off below the weld.

Re: welding cast to steel
from what I was told you need a realy soft rod for the cast(porus)material.
the rod used is 55% or grater content of nickle
also caled NI rod.
welded on a dc stick welder at 70amp amazing weld and very very strong
