DCEP for standard Mig. DCEN for Flux Core
MIG welding works only with reversed polarity, DC+, + at the torch. The reason is mostly the stability of the arc. Using DC- will result in a very unstable arc with lots of spatter.
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.
Using the correct procedures and filler material they can both have the same strength. P.S. both are considered "arc welding"
metal inert gas (MIG) welding
Mig
One type of welding is tube welding. Another type if mig 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
When MIG welding STEEL a mixture of Argon -- CO2 is used. 75% - 25%
metal inert gas (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.
Different material welds differently depending on polarity. There are also different types of welding rods, so polarity must be tested.
A tubular or wire cored electrode is used for both MIG and MAG welding. These can be purchased online at places like AGA.com.
