If you go to your favorite search engine and type in "Cast Iron Repair" you
will find an over abundance of people that provide this service. I was
trying to locate (without luck) a company in California that sells a nickel
flame spraying process that allows you to use your Oxy Acetylene torch for
cast iron repair. I used this process a few years back to modify some cast
iron aircraft brake parts for testing. I used a local company (NE Ohio) to
do the work as they had purchased the equipment and had been repairing all
kinds of engine components (heads, blocks, manifolds, etc) for a number of
years with great success. It worked out well for me and was used on
components that see a lot of hard use and high loads (both mechanical and
thermal). There is bound to be someone in your area that can do the repair
and as others have mentioned, stick with nickel as the repair material.
Good Luck.
