MIG welding stands for Metal Inert Gas Welding. It is the most common form of industrial welding. It is also known as MAG welding which stands for Metal Active Gas Welding and Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW welding). When it comes to welding or joining of two or more pieces of metals, MIG welding is preferred and used. However it can be quite hazardous. Yes, it is one among the easiest welding processes to learn. However it requires serious expertise, proper training, and hard work to overcome the diverse range of industrial hurdles whose hazardous factor varies in degrees.
Most hazards are caused due to fire. Thus it is the serious cause of danger associated with MIG Welding. The light and sparks can cause damage to the eyes. In some scenarios, the damage is even permanent as the worker is even capable of losing his eye sight. So, we should always be aware and precautious when it comes to welding. We should wear protective clothes that don’t expose our bodily parts to these sparks created during the welding process. See to that you wear welding helmet before you start the process. This is mainly for protecting your eye sight from lights and sparks caused by the welding tool. Wear proper veils to protect yourself from breathing the harmful gas generated while performing the welding. The workshop should have proper ventilation and see to that, that there is always a fire extinguisher and a bucket of sand nearby while performing the task. These precautionary accessories are quite cheap as well.

Electro slag welding in short is known as ESW. It is a process in which an arch is utilized to heat the slag. This slag is the repressed by a conductive slag. It is mainly used for combining steel pieces in a vertical position unlike horizontal position that is followed in traditional welding processes. This doesn’t mean electro slag is an arc welding process. It is just that an arc is lighted during the initial stages of the welding procedure. Thus there is no arc being ignited before the welding process. The width perimeter of the welding procedure is set around 30”.
The excessive heat generated facilitates the process and thus grants this kind of unimaginable access. Various distinct electrodes are put to use in this electro slag welding procedure and utilized in an efficient manner that expedites the procedure as a whole.
It became the most famous procedure for welding in 1970’s. It was intended to fuse metals of high thickness. The technique was used to manufacture parts for buildings, bridges, ships and other heavier vessels etc. The process can combine the thickest of metals to make sturdy and strong components. Thus quality of products manufactured using such welding techniques increased in sky rocketing rates. The electrodes used can be utilized to finish bonds in a single instant. The high temperature generated is detained at the joints for several hours while gas froths are set aside to flee from the pool sooner the bond cools and solidifies.

Accuracy, Precise results, ease of use, skilled craftsmanship, economical and profits. These are some of the basic requirements any company would basically look out for. And so does the mechanical industries. Mechanical industries require a lot of cutting and welding of metals and alloys for their manufacturing. In fact manufacturing is the backbone for profits for these mechanical industries and when it comes to welding, they prefer TIG welding. It is simply because TIG welding provides the most accurate welds and welding is something that has to be perfect and no one can tend to bend their expectations. TIG welding stands for Tungsten Inert Gas Welding.
TIG welding has several advantages. One among them is that it does not have flux and thus, we can weld components of appliances such as refrigerators. Welding can be done in different positions. There is no splatter effect during the welding procedure. It is highly precise in producing results and thus very helpful when thin metals are involved in the manufacturing procedure.
As they provide high quality precise results several industries prefer this welding technique. Some among them are chemical, aircraft, atomic and instrument manufacturing industries. TIG welding is preferred especially when non ferrous metals are involved in the manufacturing requirements.
Differences between TIG and MIG are as follows;
• Tig uses non consumable electrode method and MIG uses vice versa.
• Tig uses tungsten electrodes
• Tig uses constant current supply while MIG uses constant voltage supply
• Tig is used for high temperature applications

Welding is a task that requires high craftsmanship. It is in many ways like an art in the museum. It is very easy to learn. The procedure for accomplishing the tasks can be done with much ease. However without proper knowledge or back ground it is very hard to complete the art perfectly. Either we end up messing the task or we are liable to get ourselves injured. The injuries that come along with the welding procedure can be quite hazardous. Many have been scarred; some has lost eye sight or even life when protection has been neglected. Thus apart from having a clear background knowledge, proper protection and safety precautions are to be followed while we do the task. Thus it requires good training and guidelines from experts. But nonetheless, welding is an art which can be easily learnt and implemented well.
The mechanical industries are always in need of craftsman. While you are doing welding courses in any college and in today’s world it has become pretty common for students to work and study side by side, you can apply for part time welding practices in these industries. Nonetheless it is pretty common for people to get employed in a different field to the one they have actually studied for.
If you are passionate enough about welding even after completing your welding course and getting employed in other industries, you can still develop it into a side by side small term business. Keep improving your skills, do small time welding jobs, try to create a reputation by advertising through the internet.

The arc welder is one of the efficient elders which can be used to join various types of metals and it does not need extensive training for one to get the technique right. So if you would like to try this welding technique at your home to join two metals or if you are a welder you need to know some basic wiring requirements you need to have.
The arc welders would require connections with 240 volts alternating current; since they need such high power it’s necessary that they use wiring that would withstand it. The strong copper wires can be considered as an option. It’s also necessary that the circuit of your arc welder is well protected, as if its small there is chance for it to keep tripping and if it’s large the circuit may melt. Both cases may create hazards like fire accidents.
So it is appreciable if you read the manufacturing instructions and follow the guidelines properly in order to ensure smooth and safe welding process.
