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

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

How do you calculate wire feed speed in MIG welding?

Wire feed speed in MIG welding is calculated by multiplying the welding current by the wire feed rate. This formula helps determine the speed at which the welding wire is fed into the weld pool during the welding process.
