MIG welding guide from Murex

MIG is the most widely used of the arc welding processes, being suitable for everything from hobbies and small fabrications or repairs, through to large structures, shipbuilding and robotic welding. MIG can be used on a broad range of materials and thicknesses, and the latest SuperPulse technology enables MIG to give a finish that is similar to that obtained with TIG welding, but with the much faster speeds. The new guide discusses the principles of the process and gives practical advice on how to carry out MIG welding tasks. Ease of use is a major benefit of MIG in many applications, but speed is also an advantage as it is far quicker to lay down weld metal with MIG than TIG, MMA or gas welding. Typical applications for MIG are discussed in the guide. These include automotive sub-assemblies and bodywork, ranging from conventional MIG for most bodywork, to heavy duty MIG for lorry chassis and off-highway vehicles as well as lower-current MIG brazing of thin-gauge, high-strength steels. Other non-automotive applications include the assembly of white goods and office furniture, the joining of structural steelwork for the construction industry, as well as repair work in ship repair yards, and welding tasks in the process industry for pipework and the fabrication of vessels.
