Both use electrical current to melt the base metal and the filler metal. Both could be considered ARC welding. Most welding is done with an electrode (stick) and as the electrode becomes consumed the weldor has to stop and replace it with a new one. MIG welding uses a spool of wire and can be run for hours on end. MIG is usually easier to learn.
a mig welder has wire fed through your lead a tig welder is kinda like soldering you have your torch and wire feeding together
Most MIG welding applications are relatively easy to do. MIG, correct nomenclature is Gas Metal Arc Welding GMAW, utilizes a spool of welding wire that feeds thru a gun held by the operater. Once the machine is set the operater only has to pull the trigger and move the gun to produce a weld bead. TIG, correct nomenclature is Gas Tungsten Arc Welding GTAW, utilizes a hand held torch to heat and melt the metal while the operater feeds filler metal into the weld with the other hand. This filler called rods or wire is usually 36" long and anywhere from 1/16 to 1/4" in diameter and are usually matched to the metal being welded. Pay wise most TIG weldors make more than MIG weldors.
A regular welder uses simple electronics and is mostly mechanical controlled; it also has a huge transformer. Inverters are mostly processor controlled; they have small Transformers and are more efficient because they utilize high frequency switching.
MIG (metal inert gas) welding and MAG (metal active gas) welding are two sub
types of welding method classified as GMAS (gas metal arc welding). In both
there processes a continuous metal wire surrounded by a shielding gas are
fed through a welding gun. Of the two processes the first one to be
developed was MIG process. This process was costly because of high cost of
inert gas and therefor was not used that widely. It was mostly used for
welding of non-ferrous metals. Subsequently the MIG process was developed
which used semi active gas such as carbon dioxide (CO2). This allowed the
process to be used for much wider applications.
maybe 10 amperes
the time it duration for the action and voltage drop
6013 is normal arc electrode which is used for light jobs like sheet welding or tank making but when it comes to heavy construction jobs where strength required is more 7018(Low Hydrogen) Arc Electrode is used like boilers, heavy structures etc. Working with 6013 is far easier than 7018, which requires welder's skills. Neatness in finishing is also more with 6013 than 7018. any further info. on construction : nangalsuri@rediffmail.com Surinder Singh
Which is the mínimum distance between the electrode an a grounding part.
Welding Electrorodes or Welding Rods are used in arc welding. Arc welding is a special type of welding which uses a welding power supply to create an electric arc between the base material (e.g. steel) and the electrode. The Welding Ectrorodes can be used for all weldable aluminum and mild steel.
Stick welding is also more difficult to learn and use, particularly the ability to strike and maintain an arc. Arc welders are available in AC, DC or AC/DC, with AC being the most economical. It's used for welding thicker metals of 1/16 inch or greater.
The proper ampere rating of a circuit breaker for an electric arc welder depends on the arc welder. Each is different. Look at the nameplate on the arc welder and choose the circuit breaker and wiring accordingly.
it welds
there is not much difference
There is no difference in meaning between the two. It is usually spelled in lowercase, though (arc tan, or arctan).
4500to6000 celsius
Like any mechanical tool, machine or similar engineering equipment, an arc welder will have lots of different materials inside it. An arc welder is an electrical machine and any electrical machine must have wiring inside it. Most electrical wiring will be made of Copper. So yes, there is likely to be some Copper inside an arc welder.
