I have a iron casting I am trying to identify for the purposes of welding. I think it is malleable iron but it could be cast iron or even mild steel. Is there an easy way to identify what it is without destroying the part? It does bend which makes me think it is malleable but, I don't know.
I have been told if it is malleable iron, welding it can be a problem as the welded are will be brittle and could crack.
