Metal Inert Gas Welding
• Metal Inert Gas (MIG) or Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) is the most popular of the arc welding processes.– It is mainly because it is easy to use and
versatile. – With an Inert Gas, such as Argon:
• MIG welding can be used to weld aluminum.

How It Works
An arc is struck between a continuously fed filler wire and the work.
The arc is protected from oxidation by a shielding gas over the weld pool.

Advantages
• Welds most metals
• Little or no slag
• Easiest to learn
• Greater speed and efficiency
• Fewer Weld Defects
• Welds in most positions

Disadvantages
• Welding outside can be difficult
• Not ideal for thick material or deep penetrating welds
