MIG Welding (Metal Inert Gas Welding)

MIG welding, or Metal Inert Gas welding, is a process where an electric arc melts metal together using a continuously fed wire electrode. An inert gas, like argon or carbon dioxide, surrounds the weld area to protect the molten metal from contamination by air, which can cause weak or defective welds. This method allows for fast, clean, and efficient welding suitable for various metals and thicknesses. It’s commonly used in manufacturing, auto repair, and fabrication due to its ease of automation and producing high-quality welds.
