MIG Welding
SteinerZ delivers MIG Welding that’s ideal for joining diverse metals at high efficiency for quick and high volume projects
MIG Welding Overview
MIG welding (Metal Inert Gas welding), also called GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding), is a welding process where a continuous wire electrode is fed through a welding gun and melted to join metal pieces together.
At the same time, a shielding gas (usually argon, CO₂, or a mix) flows from the gun to protect the weld from contamination in the air.
Because the wire continuously feeds through the gun, MIG welding allows welders to work quickly and efficiently, making it one of the most widely used welding methods in manufacturing and fabrication.
Benefits of MIG Welding
MIG welding is popular because it is fast, efficient, versatile, and ideal for high-productivity fabrication work. Other key benefits of MIG Welding include:
- Fast Welding Speeds
- Continuous wire feed allows faster welding than many other processes
