MIG-MAG welding

How does MIG-MAG welding work?

In MIG-MAG welding, an electric arc occurs between the automatically fed molten welding wire (= electrode) and the workpiece.

A separately added gas flows through the gas nozzle and protects the arc and welding zone from ambient oxygen. This prevents oxidation in the weld pool and in the weld seam. By the way, the shielding gas and the welding seam must be adapted to the base material.

What is MIG-MAG welding?

MIG-MAG welding or gas shielded metal welding is differentiated into metal inert gas welding (MIG) and metal welding with active gas (MAG).

High welding speed, minimal rework and low distortion make MIG-MAG welding processes extremely economical. The special strength of the weld seam, the excellent properties on thin metal sheets and the easy and safe handling of steel, aluminum and stainless steel ensure that MIG-MAG welding is universally applicable.

Due to these enormous advantages, MIG-MAG welding is the most widely used welding process today.
