[QUOTE="dmtfabrication, post: 463712, member: 6825"] I blasted a 3/8" plate out and tacked it in place. I read that the 205 was made out of cast steel. To me, the sparks were different in color and pattern from the 14 bolt shaves I have done, but the sparks definitely were different from mild steel (A36). I also read that guys were just MIG welding the plates on. Using .035 ER70s6 with 75/25, my results sucked. I preheated the case in the parts washer (140 degrees) and continued to localized preheat with a rosebud to an ASSumed hot enough temp (tempstiks and IR gun at work) I ran a root pass and it fractured.
