Why is the term GMAW preferable to mig for gas metal arc welding?
MIG is a non-standard term for gas metal arc welding and flux cored arc welding, according to the American Welding Society (AWS). MIG stands for metal inert gas. Inert gas being a non-reactive gas (a noble gas on the periodic table). Most GMAW procedures do not use a mixture of 100% non-reactive gas. A popular gas mixture in the United states contains 90% Argon and 10 % CO2, or 75% Argon and 25% CO2. Argon is a non-reactive gas, while CO2 is a reactive gas. The mixture is not inert, therefore, using MIG is an inaccurate way to represent the actual process being used. A mixture containing 100% of an inert gas are used when necessary. However, the preferred term is still GMAW or FCAW.
What is mean by girth weld?
A girth weld refers to a type of weld used to connect two sections of pipe or cylindrical structures along their circumference. This welding technique is commonly employed in the construction of pipelines, storage tanks, and pressure vessels, ensuring structural integrity and leak prevention. Girth welds can be made using various welding methods, such as MIG, TIG, or stick welding, depending on the materials and application requirements. Proper inspection and testing of girth welds are crucial to ensure safety and compliance with industry standards.

What does mig stand for in mig welding?
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.
What is MIG welding?
It is arc welding process using a spool of wire that is fed to the material by an electric motor. Different from shielded metal arc welding which uses consumable welding electrodes with a covering of flux to assist and protect the weld. The MIG uses an inert gas (IG) to keep impurities from the welding point. The technical term for MIG is GMAW (gas metal arc welding), this is because most of the time an inert gas is not used, a mixed gas is more likely. Ex. 90-10 Ar-CO2
In MIG welding what are the polarities of the torch and the work-piece and what is the fundamental reason for this?
MIG welding works only with reversed polarity, DC+, + at the torch. The reason is mostly the stability of the arc. Using DC- will result in a very unstable arc with lots of spatter.
How much thickness of plates weld by using gas metal arc welding?
See preceding question re: Mig welding.
What is MMA welding?
MMA stands for manual Metal Arc welding. In short "arc welding" and can be used in either AC or DC mode. Usually incorperated with Mig, Tig and plasma cutters for arc welding machines as an optional extra. submitted by Ken.Benson - Clarke. sales@edacomputers.co.uk from saffon walden, essex, uk.
In which process is the electrode used in welding?
Manual Metal Arc Welding(MMAW) Also GTAW (TIG) and GMAW (MIG) The MIG wire carries electric current so it is considered the electrode. TIG the Tungsten is considered an electrode.
How does length of gas nozzle effect mig welding?
The legth of the gas nozzle can affect the MIG welding process because it modifies the "electrode extension" or so called stickout. The longer the nozzle the longer electrode extension needed to keep the arc away from it thus the value od the welding current and arc voltage changes. These changes will have a great effect on the weld.
Is mig welding a forge welding?
No, Forge welding is the simplest form of welding where two metals are heated to a state than can be forced to meld into each-other such as hammering or by other mechanical means such as a press. MIG Welding is short for Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW). This is a process which uses electricity to melt the parent metal and the electrode (wire) while shielded by a inert gas to keep contamination's (our atmosphere (aka air)) out of the weld puddle. Forge welding uses brute force and heat to join metals while MIG welding uses electricity and a shielding gas.
Which type of welding is permanent welding?
Permanent welding refers to processes that create a strong, lasting bond between materials, typically metals. Common types of permanent welding include arc welding, MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding, and TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding. These methods fuse materials together at a molecular level, resulting in a joint that is generally as strong as or stronger than the base materials. Permanent welding is widely used in construction, manufacturing, and repair applications due to its durability and strength.
Mig welding or arc welding?
Technically speaking, MIG welding is arc welding because it uses an intensely hot electrical arc to heat and join the metal together. Usually arc welding means stick welding. The difference between the processes is the manner in which the filler metal is applied. With MIG welding, the filler metal is usually applied with a wire fed through a gun type device with an inert gas such as argon shielding the weld. Arc (or stick) welding uses a solid electrode of the same type of metal as is being joined shielded by a layer of flux. The method of welding depends on the user's skill and what is to be welded.
