What is the purpose of gas in MIG welding?

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.


MIG welding compared to flux core 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


What welding process normally feeds the wire or electrode automatically?

MIG


Electrode for mig and mag welding?

A tubular or wire cored electrode is used for both MIG and MAG welding. These can be purchased online at places like AGA.com.


What type of flux is used for welding copper?

The primary purpose of flux is "to clean". It mixes with the elements in the molten puddle and removes impurities. As it cools it floats to the surface and creates the slag which prevents Oxygen from attacking the Iron.


What is a welding lead?

the welding lead is the cable coming from the welding machine that either feeds the wire and shielding gas (mig) or or provides current to the electrode through the holder


What is meant by MIG?

Metallic Inert Gas Welding - It is a welding process that involves Electricity and a continuous Wire that is used for as a filler rod for the weld.


What is the welding for 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.


What is welding flux?

The term flux means to clean. Not all welding processes use a flux. Stick welding electrodes contain fluxing agents. MIG hard wire doesn't but flux-cored MIG wire does. TIG does not as the rods are bare. Most brazing applications require flux. Gas welding usually doesn't except for certain metals.


Is an 55A-80A gasless mig welder any good for welding cars?

there is no such thing as a gasless mig welder because mig stands for metal inert gas. you must have tubular wire which has the flux in the wire. i would say you should get some s wire to do the job


What is the gas for welding?

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.


Which is low dilution welding process?
