| The Gas Metal Arc Welding process
(GMAW), commonly referred to as the Metal Inert Gas process (MIG
welding), is an arc welding process which incorporates the automatic
feeding of a continuous, consumable wire electrode that is shielded
by an externally supplied gas. Process control and function are
achieved through three basis elements of equipment: the gun and
cable assembly, wire feed unit and MIG welder. The wire feeder and
MIG welder may be combined into one unit. Shielding gas for the
MIG welding process is typically carbon dioxide, a mix of argon
and carbon dioxide or an argon/oxygen mix.
The MIG welding process produces high quality welds,
has all position welding capability, and can be used on materials
of various types and thicknesses. Additionally, clean-up is fast
since there is little to no slag and low spatter.

The Function of MIG Welders
The MIG welding process is North America’s
most popular. Operator appeal and weld appearance are excellent
with MIG welders and the MIG welding process. Good MIG welding technique
will yield excellent results. The properly made finished weld has
no slag and virtually no spatter.
The MIG welding process can be
used on a wide variety of material types – mild steel, low
alloy steel, aluminum, stainless steel – and on a wide range
of material thicknesses.
A wide variety of metal transfer modes
exist in the MIG welding process including axial spray, globular,
short circuiting, pulsed spray and Surface Tension Transfer®
(STT®). Some of these modes may require specialized MIG welders
and/or specific shielding gas mixtures.
