How can I tell If the metal is Cast Iron or Steel?

I need to make a repair and need to know if I can weld or need to just plate it?

thanks

Another way to tell...drill a hole in it. Cast iron produces a powder and steel produces you a curl or shavings.

Do a spark test. Compare the sparks to known steel and known cast. They give off 2 very different spark patterns.
