MIG Welding

Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) is frequently referred to as MIG welding.  MIG welding is a commonly used high deposition rate welding process.  Wire is continuously fed from a spool.  MIG welding is therefore referred to as a semiautomatic welding process. 

MIG Welding Benefits

• All position capability
• Higher deposition rates than SMAW
• Less operator skill required
• Long welds can be made without starts and stops
• Minimal post weld cleaning is required
