Welding to cast aluminum
Anything I need to worry about when welding to cast aluminum (like you would with cast iron)?
I assume I am ok to weld directly to it without any issues like I would with cast steel (not cast iron)?

Re: Welding to cast aluminum
You planning on using your mig?
Clean it, bevel it, and use 4043 and you should have reasonable success.
