MIG WELDING – An overview:


August 20th, 2010

MIG welding was originally developed in 1940 for welding aluminum and other metals. Main advantage of this welding is metal can be welded much faster than traditional welding techniques. It can weld softer metals like aluminum. When MIG welding was first developed, cost of inert gas made the process too expensive for welding steel. In addition, it also produces long continuous welds much faster than traditional welding methods. MIG welding produces a clean weld with very little splatter. MIG welding can be used with a wide variety of metals and alloys. This type of welding is commonly used in the automobile industry because of its ability to produce clean welds and it can weld metals quickly. People favor MIG welding as it is much faster and saves time. The operating cost is lower and it can adjust to limited electrode length and this allows for longer welds with fewer interruptions.
