I've TIG welded cast iron several times using N99 nickel wire, pre heating and then allowing it to cool slowly. Nickel wire is very expensive. I've laid coarse sand paper on cast parts and hammered on the sand paper to give it a cast appearance. Using a knurled breaker bar handle to hammer on parts can give a cast appearance.
