All welding processes have their positive and negative features. MIG/GMAW is easy to learn and use. It can be used on a large variety of materials and thicknesses (especially very thin). The welding lead is much lighter than a SMAW lead. When used with Flux-core wire inert gas is not needed in most cases. The machines are reasonably priced. Welding can be done in all positions without adjusting the Amperage. Very little smoke is produced allowing you to see the weld in progress. Large machines, using thick wire, can lay down a lot of weld in each pass. Some machines are controlled by computer and the welds are very accurate, this eliminates the need for an operater (Weldor). There is no need to stop and insert new Electrodes so deposition rates are higher plus no Electrode stubs to dispose of.

Which welding process is used primarily for welding ferrous metals such as iron and steel?
I would say that SMAW (stick) is still the most widely used process. The GMAW (mig) process has gained a wide acceptance in construction and fabrication and may even have surpassed stick welding in many situations. Unfortunately with mig welding the machine has to be close to the welding site. Dragging a welding lead into and around fabrications is still much easier than moving a mig machine.
How strong mig welding is?
it kind of welding for welding thin sextodecimos with depth and influence in places where welding company's and pullulation bed with a good quality for other fashion seems to be appropriate. If you are asking "how do you determine the tensile strength of MIG welding?" The aswer is it is stated on the box and spool. The number 70 means 70,000 lbs tensile strength same as the 70 in 7018 electrodes.
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 types of welding used for 8 mm thickness metals?
For welding 8 mm thickness metals, common methods include MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding, TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, and stick welding (SMAW - Shielded Metal Arc Welding). The choice depends on the type of metal and specific requirements.
What welding process is used to weld cast iron?
arc welding such as SMAW (stick), GMAW (mig). Some cast metals may be brazed for certain applications. The actual properties of the Cast metal will be needed for the type of electrode and/or process.
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.
Explain the principle behind arc welding.?
Arc welding uses an electrical current to create enough heat to melt metal. Any type of welding that uses an electric arc is technically arc welding. However, most people use the term 'arc welding' to mean shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), or 'stick welding'. SMAW, MIG, and flux core wire welding use the filler metal as both electrode and filler; TIG welding uses an electric arc to heat the base metal and a separate filler rod to add metal to the weld.
What is a welding machine?
metal inert gas (MIG) welding
Plasma welding is an extension of?
Mig
Name of the type of welding?
One type of welding is tube welding. Another type if mig welding.
What type of gas is used when mig welding steal?
When MIG welding STEEL a mixture of Argon -- CO2 is used. 75% - 25%
What is a automated welding machine?
metal inert gas (MIG) welding
