Welding is a vast industry and it's more than just heating and fusing materials and wires. At A.B. Fabrications we want you to understand the most common welding terms and techniques so you can figure out which type is the best match to your needs. MIG (metal inert gas) and TIG (tungsten inert gas) are the two most common welding techniques used. Keep reading on to learn more about the unique welding process - MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding. There are different techniques that yield different results and give metals a particular form and we will be looking at these too in the following blog posts.
MIG is the abbreviation for Metal Inert Gas - a welding technique where a metal wire, connected to an electrode, is continuously fed into the weld being made. This form of welding is like arc welding as the consumable welding supply of the wire acts as a filler material to join the two metal objects and the inert gas acts as a shield so you can weld the metals. MIG uses short-circuit welding.
