Use Tig Welding Methods
There are so many different grades that things are made of and it is not always clear which one you are about to weld.
So why is cast iron so troublesome to weld? Because it has a metric ton of carbon in it.

solid iron contains over 2 p.c carbon and often up to four %. When that much carbon is present in iron, it toughens easily. But all that carbon serves a purpose... It turns into graphite and that actually serves a purpose as a lubricator on cylinder walls of a combustion engine. But for welding, all that carbon and graphite is horrible. Carbon in those pc.s cause toughening of the weld metal and surrounding heat affected area.
It does not bend, it breaks. It may be good for engine blocks, but it is unpredictable under load.
Have you ever lit up on a heavy aluminum casting using straight argon gas and had to wait a really long time to even get a puddle? Not so when you add helium. You get a pool instantly and it's even a cleaner puddle... An extra bonus.
But I am telling you that when you use an argon helium mix, I will be able to bet you won't want to use straight argon again excepting actually thin aluminum sheet.
Be careful not to use too much torch gas. Simply to be clear, that's the gas leaving the tig cup.
Enough is enough and more is worse, not better. Use just enough flow to shield the puddle and not much more.

There are methods of telling, like spark testing but I have yet to see anyone that could tell one type of iron casting from another by spark testing. Consider this for a minute...Tool steels contain around 1 p.c carbon and are considered tough to weld because of excessive hardening and even cracking issues.
