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 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.


What welding process normally feeds the wire or electrode automatically?

MIG


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.


What does the 2 stand for in E48024 weldind?

In E48024 welding, the "2" indicates the weld's position classification according to the American Welding Society (AWS) specifications. Specifically, it denotes that the weld is suitable for use in all positions, including flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead. This classification helps welders understand the versatility and application of the particular electrode in various welding scenarios.

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.


What welder to use on autobody?

It depends on what you are welding. If you are doing welding on mild steel go with MIG welding; if it is aluminum or stainless steel then use TIG welding. TIG welding gives a nice looking finish. If you just want to get a decent look, then MIG is preferable and easy.


What are the types of welding?

Gas, arc, mig and tig.
