Use a stick welder with Stainless steel rod.
grind a V at the cracks. fill the V with weld. make multiple passes
if needed to fill the V Watch for additional cracking.
You can buy SS rod at a farm store or a Welding supply.

Nope. Cast iron has too tight a grain and will crack as it cools.
You can braze it but you need to heat MUCH more than where you're
going to repair. Apparently a rosebud tip is pretty much required
for that kind of work.

I have a bench in the yard, park bench-style, cast-iron frame and wooden
slats. Part of the frame is cracked -- can I weld this with a flux-core
MIG?
