Hello, I have searched the forum and have not found a definitive answer
I need to weld mild steel brackets to a cast iron Honda CR-V steering knuckle (as secondary mounting for rose jointed steering tie rod ends) see example of said knuckle in this link:
https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https://www.amazon.com/Premium-Steering-Knuckle-Replacement-2007-2009/dp/B082SGQZT7&psig=AOvVaw2Jes8oZrIO2SERl1jx9mSF&ust=1595521231808000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCMi4rfeh4eoCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAp
A local motorsport preparation company used normal mig welding wire for this job on their car and hasn't yet had any issues although I have read all over the place that this isn't sufficient for a safety critical item..
Any advice on type of mig wire to use and prep, for example pre heating, would be much appreciated
Thanks
