[MW:1208] Re: Process required to repair crack in casting ASTM A 148 GR 80-40

 
Please use E7018-1 electrode as we have used it in past.Dont do R&D now.
Also we had not gone for any PWHT after welding. The cast part is functioning in service after repair (almost a year back).
If u do PWHT, it is always better.
