Braze it or TIG with high nickel filler.

Will brazing last though in a high heat application ?

There's two types of cast iron rod, one is 55% Nickel and the other is like 99%. If you need to machine it later, get the 99%, otherwise get the 55, it's a lot cheaper. The 99% stuff is like 20 bucks a pound.

just for reference, there is no "regular" metal. though the most common metals in structural applications would be steels.
