Benefits of MIG Welding


August 24th, 2009

MIG Welding is also known as Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW). MIG Welding is a commonly used high deposition rate welding process. MIG welding is referred as a semi automatic welding process.

Benefits of MIG Welding:

  • Less skills required
  • Welding cleaning work is less
  • Welding work can be done without stopping
  • Higher deposition rates than SMAW

Primary shielding gasses used are Argon, Argon – 1 to 5% Oxygen, Argon
– 3 to 25% CO2 and Argon/Helium.

Problems face by MIG Welding:

  • Irregular wire feed
  • Burn back
  • Porosity
  • Unstable arc
  • Difficult arc starting

Weld discontinues due to undercutting, incomplete fusion, incomplete joint penetration, Porosity, Weld metal cracks etc.
