What is MIG/TIG welding?

MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding, also known as GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding), is an arc welding process that uses a continuous solid wire electrode fed through a welding gun and into the weld pool, joining two base materials together. A shielding gas, often argon or a mixture of gases, protects the weld pool from atmospheric contamination. It is commonly used in manufacturing, automotive repair, and construction due to its speed and versatility.
