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.

What is a mig welder used for?

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.

What is flux coating?

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.

Why Carbon dioxide is used in 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.
