How to weld cast iron easily and effectively? With this brilliant trick, you'll learn how to use a wire on your electrode to achieve stronger, longer-lasting welds!

Cast iron is one of the most difficult materials to weld due to its fragility and high carbon content. However, there's a little-known but highly effective trick that will help you overcome this challenge: wrapping a copper wire around your electrode. This method improves conductivity, distributes heat evenly, and reduces the risk of cracks in the joints.

In this video, I explain step-by-step how to apply this revolutionary technique, which can be used by both beginners and experienced welders. If you work in blacksmithing, metalwork, or machine repair, this trick will be your best ally!
