If you have a cast iron anvil, access to a good MIG welder, and an inordinate amount of time, you too can make your stupid, useless cast iron China-made anvil into something that a professional blacksmith might not laugh at, all the while proving to the non-believers that it can be done.
Incredibly, the regular .035 mild steel MIG wire holds up very well on cast iron with proper preheat. You don't need to buy special alloys if you don't want to, though you may get better results overall.
The hardface wire I used specified that it was good against impact; some alloys are meant more for abrasion, so check around before buying the first roll of hardfacing wire you see.
