Weldability	Limited weldability. The welding process - SMAW. When welding requires preheating. After welding and repair of defects by welding is used vacation at 690-710 °C.
Welding defects	Welding defects of castings after cutting is carried out with preliminary and attendant heating up to 350-400 °C. for semi-automatic welding in carbon dioxide environment used wire SV-08ХГСМФА with a diameter of 2 mm at a current of 300-350 A. Welding defects by manual welding is done with electrodes type e-09Х1МФ (GOST 9467) brand ЦЛ20. When heat treated after welding defects to cool in the oven to 100-150 °C at a rate of 30-50 °C/h and further in the air.
