Mr Stevens I honest do not know what temp the rod will get, I will use, at first stood 2110, i'm bona weld 2 to 3 inch beads at different places so the heat stays the same as I make 3 layers. I will hammer my welds and clean them up as I go. I very open to suggestions or opions I"ll finish up with stoody 1105, I think it will match the top plate. Keeping the anvil at 450 degrees all during the welding. Then I will slow cool for 12 to 18 hours in sand or mica. Does this sound ok ?

What I understand is to post heatback to 400 degrees. Verify with tempo, stick pack the anvil Ln crushed mica and allow it to slow cool for a minimum of 8 hours. Did you do this? Its supposed to minimize stress cracking. I haven't started on mine, but as soon as I get it repaired, I show some pictures, it gone be a lot of welding. Good day.

I'm 69 years old. I was under the impression that, I Forge Iron, would be where I could receive some helpful information regarding this content. I wasn't expecting to be treated disrespectfully by such an active member of the community. Thank you all for the assistance given regarding the issue.

thank you, to begain any repairs the question is wrought iron, cast, or steel???? I did some reading on Guenther. , and to fix it I would need to know what I would be working on. When I touched the side of the broke face it shot lots of sparks, when I did the same to the base it shot a lot of sparks also, more so than cast iron.

On the bottom of the anvil it looks like a star, a four, and a 1 or am I seeing just pitting?
-
I not putting nothing except hot steel on the face , if I repair it I will only work on the repair. With a cup stone to blend up to the old face. I always heat metal when welding with 7018 ,and hard surface type rods. I try to read up on this Mr. Gurther. thank you very much Mr Powers

Ok thank you! I really did not know , would you have any thoughts about when it was made ? I guess I should have asked the big question is it worth repairing ?

thank you for your help do you think that the anvil is cast steel?
