Hi, I am new here and had a scout around at CI issues when welding to mild, but couldn't find anything that referred to cylinder liners.
What I plan to weld, is the liner of a diesel cylinder to a steel plate as this is the flue damper assembly for the woodburning stove I am making.
I spark tested the liner on a grinder and it isn't plain cast.. which is kind of what I expected...
SO my million dollar question is... what is it likely to be and therefore what chances have I of welding it to mild steel plate?
It will have to support a 4 metre flue pipe of 5mm 114mm OD tube, though it will rest on the aluminium outer casting.
I have access to MIG and stick at the moment... otherwise I would have brazed it.
Will I get away with mild rods or wire or should I go NiFe... or what other options are there?
I think I kind of know the answer but as the liner has other metals in it I wondered just how nearer steel it is than CI.
