Safety Tips for Mig Mag Welding

Monday, February 7th, 2011

Even though the Welding industry is getting updated with more and more new products in the market there is still a craze for the older proven welders and one of the welding methods being used for a long time now are the MIG MAG welding technique. MIG stands for metal inert gas and MAG stands for metal active gas.

Mig Mag welders are actually two welders combined into one, it’s one of the easiest welding methods and they do not even require safety equipments like shielding gas. The quality of the weld depends upon a number of factors ranging from the wind. The Mig Mag welders can be used in welding without the person having a shielding glass but in general welding is a dangerous process and has to be dealt with caution.

So it’s necessary that the welder has a protective gear like a jacket which will not keep his body exposed and gloves that protect his hands. The eyes are the most sensitive part of the human body so it’s necessary that one wears glasses to protect the retina, also ensure that while you weld no one is exposed to the UV rays by having a screen.

VARIATION BETWEEN MIG AND TIG WELDING

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

MIG WELDING
• Gas metal arc welding is also known as mig welding
• It is of consumable electrodes method
• It uses wire electrodes
• It is used to weld aluminum and other non ferrous metals
• This welding came into existence in 1948
• It has high quality versatility and speed
• Mig welding uses constant voltage power supply
Mig welding is the simple welding process, where the learners can learn quickly
• It is used in industries like aircraft and automobiles

TIG WELDING

• Gas tungsten arc welding is called as tig welding
• It is of non consumable electrodes method
• It uses tungsten electrodes
Tig welding is used to weld stainless steels and non ferrous metals
• It came into existence in 1941
• It uses tungsten electrodes which is used in high temperature applications
• Tig uses constant current power supply
Tig welding is somewhat complex and takes some time to learn
• It is used in chemical and instrument industries
