MIG and TIG Welding
MIG Welding
MIG (Metal Inert Gas) Welding is a welding process in which an electric arc forms between a consumable MIG wire electrode and the workpiece metals, which heats the workpiece metals, causing them to melt and join. Along with the wire electrode, a shielding gas feeds through the welding gun, which shields the process from atmospheric contamination. MIG Welding is a great way to fuse thick metals.
TIG Welding
TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) Welding is an arc welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. The weld area and electrode are protected from oxidation or other atmospheric contamination by an inert shielding gas (argon or helium).
TIG Welding most commonly gets used for welding thin sections of stainless steel and non-ferrous metals.
