More about MIG welding
MIG welding is an arc welding process where a continuous solid wire electrode is fed through a welding gun and into the weld pool, joining two materials together.
With shielding gas also sent through the welding gun to protect the weld pool from contamination, MIG processes enable streamlined fabrication or maintenance on materials from 24-gauge up to a half-inch thick.
Because of its ease of use, MIG welding is ideal for a broad scope of users including professional boiler makers, custom fabricators, hobbyists, artists, farmers, motorsports enthusiasts and more. In fact, most people can become competent operating MIG welders by following basic welding advice.
Fact: MIG stands for metal inert gas and the technical name for it is gas metal arc welding (or GMAW), while the slang name for it is wire welding.
At a glance: MIG, TIG or stick welding
MIG
- Arguably the most simplified welding process to learn
- Featuring maximum efficiency with high welding speeds easily possible
- Provides improved control on thinner metals
- Cleans welds leaving no by-product behind
- Offers versatility as the same equipment can be used for flux-cored welding
TIG
- Provides very high quality and precise welds
- Showcases highly aesthetic weld beads
- Machines allow for the adjustment of heat input while welding
Stick
- Optimal for challenging conditions, such as wind or other outdoor environments
- Final results are more forgiving when welding on dirty or rusty metal
- Great for use on thicker materials
Leaders in supplying short and long-term welding equipment hire solutions since 2003, Renteca offers machinery for even the smallest portable welding jobs up to massive, large-scale operations.
Remember, even compact machines can have a hefty upfront cost, so in many cases it can be more sensible financially to hire a welder plus the associated equipment you require.
