place the metal clamp on a form of metal turn the mig welder on turn the gas on know were your welding flip your shield down and then give er
yes
See preceding question re: Mig welding.
mig welding is Metal Inert Gas welding. it typically uses Constant voltage DC+ current. It uses a wire feeder that supplies the electrode to the weld puddle and shields the molten weld puddle with inert gas (argon/co2 blend). Filler wire and shielding gas depend on the metal being welded.
This is something of a trick question... Every metal has its own melting point that must be reached to weld the material. The difference between Oxy-ace and Mig is the Heat Effected Zone. This is the blue and purple area around your weld in which the Microstructure and properties of your base material change. Oxy-Ace will have a much wider HAZ.
A number of factors go into this: base material thickness, joining material thickness, wire thickness, shielding gas composition, angle of weld, etc. The best way to determine this is to measure your material, then open your MIG welder, find the wire size of the spool, and read the chart inside of the MIG Welder door.
Most common and main limitation of MIG welding is that MIG welder could not weld thicker metal. If you want to know details then visit this site.
can weld aluminium with a mig or tig welder
yes
yes
Mig (GMAW) has almost replaced Stick (SMAW) in industry. Small machines can weld thin materials and larger machines weld metals of unlimited thickness. Mig is easy to use and has less waste (no stubs) than stick. Flux core wire produces a slag covering but bare wire w/gas leaves a clean weld.

mig, oxy-acetelene, arc,
Yes, but, it isn't particularly easy. You should practice on flat stock first.
When you weld steel you need to make sure that oxygen in the air is kept away from the weld while it's being formed. Otherwise the iron in the weld burns in the oxygen and forms a poor weld. Electric welding rods are generally coated with a flux which forms a gaseous shield around the weld point and keeps away the air. Some welding processes (MIG for example - MIG stands for metal inert gas) do not use a flux coating but have an arrangement where argon or CO2 is passed to the weld point to keep the air away in a different way.
MIG is far faster than all other welders, and you can get an aesthetically appealing weld AND good penetration, so its "pretty" and strong
See preceding question re: Mig welding.
MIG (Metal Inert Gas) and MAG (Metal Active Gas) welding requires an external shielding, since the electrode does not have a coating of its own.Higher carbon dioxide content increases the weld heat and energy when all other weld parameters (volts, current, electrode type and diameter) are held the same. Higher levels of CO2 allow deeper penetration of the weld as well.
