    MIG welding, also known as gas metal arc welding (GMAW), is a commonly used welding process where wire is continuously fed through a welding gun to create an electric arc between the wire and the base material. MIG welding offers benefits like all position welding, higher deposition rates than stick welding, and less operator skill required. Key parameters that affect the weld include welding current, wire extension, voltage, and travel speed. Shielding gases like argon and argon mixtures protect the weld from contamination.

    MIG Welding
    Manufacturing and Materials Processes
    (GMAW) 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
    MIG Welding Shielding Gas
    • The shielding gas, forms the arc plasma, stabilizes the arc on the metal being
    welded, shields the arc and molten weld pool, and allows smooth transfer of metal
    from the weld wire to the molten weld pool. 
    The primary shielding gasses used are:
    • Argon
    •  Argon – 95% to 5% Oxygen
    •  Argon – 75% to 25% CO2
    •  Argon/Helium
    • CO2 is also used in its pure form in some MIG welding processes.  However, in
    some applications the presence of CO2 in the shielding gas may adversely affect
    the mechanical properties of the weld. 
    Welding Parameters and Techniques
    • Welding current
    • Wire electrode extension
    • Welding voltage
    • Arc travel speed
    WELDING CURRENT
    • The welding current is the electrical amperage in the power system as the weld is
    being made.
    • welding current is directly related to wire- feed speed (if the wire extension
    beyond the guide tip is constant). As the wire-feed speed is varied, the welding
    current will vary in the same direction. In other words, an increase (or decrease) in
    the wire-feed speed will cause an increase (or decrease) of the current.
    WIRE ELECTRODE EXTENSION
    • Wire extension or ”stick-out” is the distance between the last point of electrical
    contact, usually the end of the contact tip, and the end of the wire electrode.
    WIRE ELECTRODE EXTENSION
    • Controlling tip-to-work distance is important. Long extensions result in excess
    weld metal being deposited with low arc heat. This can cause poor bead shape and
    low penetration. In addition, as the tip-to-work distance increases, the arc
    becomes less stable.
    WELDING VOLTAGE
    • voltage setting directly controls the arc length.
    • In addition, a certain range is required to maintain arc stability at any given
    welding current level.
    ARC TRAVEL SPEED
    • As the material thickness increases, the travel speed must be lowered.
    • For a given material thickness and joint design, as the welding current is increased,
    so is the arc travel speed. The converse is also true.
    • Higher welding speeds are attainable by using the forehand welding technique.
    WELDING TECHNIQUES
    • Torch Position

    – Split the angle (90 degrees = 45 degree split)


    – 5 degree rake
    Good Voltage to Voltage to Too Fast Too Slow
    Weld High Low
    Less Stick
