Abstract
Arc welding is sometimes used to repair damaged cast iron parts in diesel engine for driving n ship. In this case cold arc welding is good for saving the time and results in good repairing. But if some difference in hardness on welding zones made with AWS E Ni-CI and NiFe-CI happen, repaired parts would be cracked in a short. In order to overcome this default, the study is performed on varying preheating temperature of welding parts, selecting welding rod and welding work way. The result will be used on ship's working shop.
