- 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.
