A tubular or wire cored electrode is used for both MIG and MAG welding. These can be purchased online at places like AGA.com.
An example of a kind of short circuit is an arc welding.
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.
consumable is when the rod or other metal is also used up in the weld, like common mig welding. Non consumable would be like forms of tig welding that don't use any rods or other metals to join the 2 materials together. This is the Distance
The wire feed welder is a MIG welder.

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.
metal inert gas (MIG) welding
Mig
One type of welding is tube welding. Another type if mig welding.
When MIG welding STEEL a mixture of Argon -- CO2 is used. 75% - 25%
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
metal inert gas (MIG) welding
DCEP for standard Mig. DCEN for Flux Core
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.
Gas Metal Arc Welding Most folks call it MIG
