Glue for metal to metal

Got a photo,to make things clearer.

If cast iron, it can be welded, the bit fixes to the seat could be made from weld built up most likely.

 

Shouldn't be to difficult to build up weld on those lugs on the leg, a bit of work with a grinder, & then redrill the holes, use to do that many years ago.

Could always look or post a wanted on your local Freecycle/Freegle for a cast iron garden chair to salavage for spares.

 

Trouble is it's cast,there are a lot of so called welders who can't weld it.loads of people get a cheap mig these days then call themselves a welder.same with our game people swap a light fitting and the next day they're calling themselves electricians. Lol

 

Very true, cast iron isn't the easiest to weld, can be a right bar-steward, that's why I suggested looking for a spare chair to canabalise.

 

Down here, they pop frequently on Freegle/Freecycle.

Got my present set of bench,table & 3 chairs off Freecycle, just needed repaint.

 

Oh yes, same with stainless and aluminium, I worked at a place and they needed some stainless tables repaired, the previous incumbent had talked the firm into buying a welder and SS rods.He couldn't do it and blamed the gear, I set too and saved them 3k in repair costs. As I said to the gaffer there's welders and then those who think they are

 

Know most quirks with aluminum, used to repair aluminum tipper trailers with mig many years ago.

 

Years ago,I used to TIG weld s/s pipes which were hydraulially tested at 5400 psi.....I bet I couldn't do it now !

 

Have a TIG set but not done much,I used to work with welders on one of the plants and they'd TIG stainless pipes and when they'd done it looked like one continuos piece.They used to test with a gas that had very small molecules,apparently if this stuff couldn't get out then nothing could.I can weld fair enough,but I wouldn't put myself anywhere near those guy's,it's practically an art form.

 

Try Supafix

 

JB Weld?

 

Hi Ethna,
Don't bother trying to get it welded it won't work, cast iron comes in all grades, your chair will be a lower grade and a very sandy casting as soon as the welder strikes an arc it will just blow it away, on good quality cast it is possible to weld with the correct welding rods and knowledge, your only chance would be to attempt a braze but this may not work also if your lucky it may work
