I am currently a little ill, therefore I'l show the next step, when the seam is cleaned.
Make sure you knock the weld spalls off the springs and clean everything really well.

Only real problem I ever had with cast was cooking the oils and contaminates out of the metal before striking an arc. Preheat it until a pine stick smokes on contact, Mig it hot and low feed and keep it hot with a torch or salamander while it cools.
