Can you weld 7guage material with a 120volt mig welder?
yes
What cannot be mig welded but can be tig welded also what cannot be mig and tig welded but can be stick welded?
Aluminum is one example of a metal that cannot be MIG welded and must be TIG welded. The limitation of MIG is usually the heat it can produce versus thickness of the material. One quarter-inch thickness is usually about as thick as you can weld with either MIG or flux-core wire feed welders. Anything else will require the heat energy available with a stick welder.
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 the average cost per inch to mig weld?
0.40-0.45 Rs/inch
How do you mig weld?

Is it possible to mig weld pipes?
Yes, but, it isn't particularly easy. You should practice on flat stock first.
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 is a MIG welder recommened for welding structural body sections of a vehicle?
MIG is far faster than all other welders, and you can get an aesthetically appealing weld AND good penetration, so its "pretty" and strong
How much thickness of plates weld by using gas metal arc welding?
