Procedure:
Use AC or DC reverse polarity
Vee out cracks
Preheat heavy castings to approximately 400 F for best results
Direct the arc upon deposited metal with the electrode at a slight angle in the direction of travel
Lightly peen between passes and use a skip or back-step welding technique. Allow casting to cool slowlytep weld and peen to relieve stresses.
Allow the casting to cool slowly
