"MIG welding" is a type of welding process that uses a continuously fed metal wire, known as the filler wire, that is fed through a gun and used to join two metal parts together. MIG stands for "Metal Inert Gas" welding, and it is a process that uses a shielding gas to protect the weld from contamination. The welding process involves heating the metal parts to the melting point and then fusing them together by the application of pressure. MIG welding is a versatile process that can be used on a wide range of materials, including steel, aluminum, and stainless steel, and is commonly used in manufacturing and fabrication applications where high-quality, strong, and durable welds are required.
"TIG welding" is a type of welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce an electric arc that is used to heat and melt the metal parts being joined. TIG stands for "Tungsten Inert Gas" welding, and it is a process that uses a shielding gas to protect the weld from contamination. The welder holds the tungsten electrode in one hand and uses a separate filler rod to add material to the weld as needed. TIG welding is a precise and accurate welding process that is commonly used for welding thin materials, such as stainless steel and aluminum, and for producing high-quality welds in applications where appearance is important, such as in the aerospace, automotive, and artistic industries.
