What is MIG/TIG?

MIG (Metal Inert Gas) and TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) are arc welding processes. MIG welding, also known as GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding), uses a continuously fed wire electrode and a shielding gas to join metals. It's known for its speed and versatility, commonly used in manufacturing, automotive repair, and construction. TIG welding, also known as GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding), uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. A shielding gas protects the weld area from atmospheric contamination. TIG welding provides precise, high-quality welds and is often used for welding thin materials, aluminum, stainless steel, and other non-ferrous metals in aerospace, automotive, and artistic applications.
