It is arc welding process using a spool of wire that is fed to the material by an electric motor. Different from shielded metal arc welding which uses consumable welding electrodes with a covering of flux to assist and protect the weld. The MIG uses an inert gas (IG) to keep impurities from the welding point. The technical term for MIG is GMAW (gas metal arc welding), this is because most of the time an inert gas is not used, a mixed gas is more likely. Ex. 90-10 Ar-CO2

What is the gas for welding?
Oxygen and acetylene for flame welding. Argon for Tig welding CO2 for MIG welding steels Argon for MIG welding aluminum TRI-mix for robotic mig of steels. And helium is added for some overhead welding.
What is a welding machine?
metal inert gas (MIG) welding
Plasma welding is an extension of?
Mig
Name of the type of welding?
One type of welding is tube welding. Another type if mig welding.
MIG welding compared to flux core welding?
Flux core is a type of MIG welding.... please kind of know what your talking about before you ask a question.... Gas assisted solid mig wire welding is neater and cleaner. There are two types of flux core mig welding that you are talking about. 1. Gasless flux core mig wire 2. Shielded flux cored welding wire, uses a shielding gas as well. Most likely you are talking about the gasless mig wire. look here for more info: www.learn-how-to-weld.com/gasless-mig-wire.html
What type of gas is used when mig welding steal?
When MIG welding STEEL a mixture of Argon -- CO2 is used. 75% - 25%
What is a automated welding machine?
metal inert gas (MIG) welding
What Is The Correct Polarity For MIG Welding?
DCEP for standard Mig. DCEN for Flux Core
What does mig stand for in mig welding?
MIG stands for metal inert gas. It is a non-standard term for gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and flux cored arc welding (FCAW) according to the American Welding Society (AWS). It is simply Metal Inert Gas.
Electrode for mig and mag welding?
A tubular or wire cored electrode is used for both MIG and MAG welding. These can be purchased online at places like AGA.com.
What is gmac in welding?
Gas Metal Arc Welding Most folks call it MIG
What welder to use on autobody?
It depends on what you are welding. If you are doing welding on mild steel go with MIG welding; if it is aluminum or stainless steel then use TIG welding. TIG welding gives a nice looking finish. If you just want to get a decent look, then MIG is preferable and easy.
