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.
Metal inert gas
Metal inert gas (MIG) welding, is a process upon where a continuous and consumable wire electrode and a shielding gas are fed through a welding gun. If this is not enough information, there are many great articles about it on the web.

It depends on what you're welding and what kind of weld you need. For an extremely strong weld where you don't want to transfer as much heat to the surrounding areas, tig is the way to go. Tig has the option of melting only the source material (together), so if it is better than no material is added, then tig is the better process. If you want a small, uniform weld, then tig is also superior. Mig is wire-feed and so adds material to the pieces being welded. So it is better for filling areas or adding superior strength. If the material surrounding the weld can take the heat or doesn't matter if it is deformed or discolored, then mig welding is the way to go. A good discussion of Tig and Mig welding is here http://www.ridgecrest.ca.us/~biesiade/weld.htm.
A welding transformer uses the alternating current supplied to the welding shop at a high voltage to produce the low voltage welding power
Courage - 2000 Mig Disaster was released on: USA: 21 August 2000
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.

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%

DCEP for standard Mig. DCEN for Flux Core
A tubular or wire cored electrode is used for both MIG and MAG welding. These can be purchased online at places like AGA.com.
Gas Metal Arc Welding Most folks call it MIG
It depends on what you are welding. If you are doing welding on mild steel go with MIG welding; if it is aluminum or stainless steel then use TIG welding. TIG welding gives a nice looking finish. If you just want to get a decent look, then MIG is preferable and easy.
