Points to Remember for Metal Inert Gas (M.I.G)


August 18th, 2009
  • M.I.G is also known by manufacturer’s trade name as Micro-wire, Sigma and Miller matic Welding.
  • MIG Welding is faster to learn
  • It can weld faster than stick electrode welding.
  • While welding steel, carbon dioxide acts as a shielding gas which is less expensive and most effective.
  • For MIG welding, wire stick out should be 3/8” to ¾”.
  • If a welding operator uses Argon gas and oxygen for welding
    aluminum
    and stainless steel it will provide best results.
  • Gas flow rate for welding most metals is approximately 35 cu ft/hr. But this can changed based on the type, electrode size and thickness of metal.
  • It is important to use correct diameter wire electrode for quality welds.
