Tetanus is a disease that affects the muscles and the respiratory system. The difference between tetanus and TIG or tetanus immunoglobulin is that the latter is a form of preventative vaccine for tetanus.

What are the indications for anti tetanus vaccine?

The CDC has issued standard recommendations for the anti tetanus vaccine. keep in mind there is a difference between the vaccine (TD) and the immunoglobulin (TIG). If the individual has had 3 or more vaccinations in the past, then you would give the vaccination only if they had not received their last vaccination within the past 10 years (for non tetanus prone wounds) or 5 years (for tetanus prone wounds. he immunoglobulin (TIG) is given only to individuals with tetanus prone wounds who have had less than 3 previous vaccinations (or unknown status). Hope this helps. Shaun Cole

Difference between tig and mig?

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.

Can you tig weld with a miller thunder bolt 230amp welder?

Is this a gasoline or diesel powered unit? If so the lag time between striking an arc and establishing an arc makes it difficult to use for TIG. If not, any DC supply can be set up for TIG. Not for aluminum... Check with your welding supplier.
