Page 15: Mig Welding Principles
MIG WELDING PRINCIPLES MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding allows you to fuse together two similar metals without altering the properties of the metal. A consumable wire electrode is continuously fed through the welding torch that is fitted with a concentric gas nozzle. the wire is connected to a high voltage supply which creates an electric arc between the electrode (the wire) and the workpiece. -

5. In order to produce a satisfactory weld, the controls may be fine tuned as required. This will come with practice. NOTE: MIG welding is an acquired skill, it is strongly advised that, if you are not fully familiar with this type of welding, you practice on a piece of material with the same characteristics as your workpiece, until you are satisfied with the result, and you have fine tuned your welder to produce a satisfactory weld. -
