Thanks for the question! Mark from Rockmount here. As long as the neck is clean it should work great for that repair! It will fill in the pitting nicely.

Absolutely fantastic rods! I’m a novice welder but I’ve had ‘The Knack’ my entire life and so I’m always on the look out for exemplary products. I’ve worked with some incredibly technical material and it’s made me stock my (very) small shop with the best because it’s all I have space for, literally. These rods will always be around in the shop. Holy G-d are these things serious juice. You feel those 220+ amps to the fullest coming off of ‘em and it sliced through a piece of rebar in well under 20 seconds once I mastered the pool. I’m sure with more practice I’ll use less rod, but even for me it wasn’t extreme. I took less than an inch off the damn thing to bust that bar. 💥

Can cast iron be welded with Polaris AAA?
@MarkWilson-RockmountTech2 ай бұрын
Mark from Rockmount here, for Cast Iron our Jupiter alloys are what we recommend. Cast Iron has different metallurgical characteristics than steel, so it takes a different type of alloy to weld it. Thanks for your interest!

@rockmountwelding5 ай бұрын
A lot of old school welders have used 5p or 6011 cranked up to gouge, which works, but it's messy and adds a lot of carbon to the weld zone. Electra AAA is carbonless, and will create a cleaner champher or cut with much less contamination. It will be ready to weld without any additional prep. It's efficiency and alloy make up make it very effective, and a big time saver as well!
