Unfortunately I cannot recommend welding of any flywheel hub.
The likelihood of a successful weld repair on an iron casting like that is about zero. Almost guaranteed that the crack will spread, or show up in a place it wasn’t before after the casting has cooled. I wouldn’t trust it even if it didn’t crack right after welding. Flywheel hub that is cracked usually only means one thing – time for new flywheel! Most likely candidate is a flywheel from a donor parts motor. There are some repairs that can be attempted on a ruined hub, but I’m not sold on that approach. Not yet anyway…
Hope this helps, sorry if it doesn’t…
Best,
