Electrode for mig and mag welding?
A tubular or wire cored electrode is used for both MIG and MAG welding. These can be purchased online at places like AGA.com.
Can a Lincoln Electric Handy MIG Welder use flux wire?
Yes it can. I use flux core wire because there is no need for gas with flux wire.
What is the difference between arc welder and inverter arc welder?
Both use electrical current to melt the base metal and the filler metal. Both could be considered ARC welding. Most welding is done with an electrode (stick) and as the electrode becomes consumed the weldor has to stop and replace it with a new one. MIG welding uses a spool of wire and can be run for hours on end. MIG is usually easier to learn.
Can you use a 12-3 romax for a double pole 40 amp breaker It is for a mig welder?
No, the wire will overheat.
How do you determine which wire is the 'feed' wire?
Check it with a voltmeter or with a voltage detector.
What cannot be mig welded but can be tig welded also what cannot be mig and tig welded but can be stick welded?
Aluminum is one example of a metal that cannot be MIG welded and must be TIG welded. The limitation of MIG is usually the heat it can produce versus thickness of the material. One quarter-inch thickness is usually about as thick as you can weld with either MIG or flux-core wire feed welders. Anything else will require the heat energy available with a stick welder.
In which process is the electrode used in welding?
Manual Metal Arc Welding(MMAW) Also GTAW (TIG) and GMAW (MIG) The MIG wire carries electric current so it is considered the electrode. TIG the Tungsten is considered an electrode.
What is full form of TiG and MiG welding?
TIG Tungstun Inert Gas & MIG Metal Inert Gas.
Difference between tig and mig?
It depends on what you're welding and what kind of weld you need. For an extremely strong weld where you don't want to transfer as much heat to the surrounding areas, tig is the way to go. Tig has the option of melting only the source material (together), so if it is better than no material is added, then tig is the better process. If you want a small, uniform weld, then tig is also superior. Mig is wire-feed and so adds material to the pieces being welded. So it is better for filling areas or adding superior strength. If the material surrounding the weld can take the heat or doesn't matter if it is deformed or discolored, then mig welding is the way to go. A good discussion of Tig and Mig welding is here http://www.ridgecrest.ca.us/~biesiade/weld.htm.
How big is a fig in a wig?
as big as a mig in tig
What are the types of welding?
Gas, arc, mig and tig.
Can you use a mig welder to tig weld?
No Unless you have a newer model welder that is CC & CV, and then they do not do aluminum unless you get into the high end inverter models. Wire welding uses the CV (constant Voltage) and tig is CC (constant current)
What it the welder called that can weld aluminum?
can weld aluminium with a mig or tig welder
What is welding flux?
The term flux means to clean. Not all welding processes use a flux. Stick welding electrodes contain fluxing agents. MIG hard wire doesn't but flux-cored MIG wire does. TIG does not as the rods are bare. Most brazing applications require flux. Gas welding usually doesn't except for certain metals.
What are common solder and weld techniques used more than TIG?
mig, oxy-acetelene, arc,
There are two types of welders commonly used around mechanical and body shops?
Arc mig and tig
What welder to use on autobody?
It depends on what you are welding. If you are doing welding on mild steel go with MIG welding; if it is aluminum or stainless steel then use TIG welding. TIG welding gives a nice looking finish. If you just want to get a decent look, then MIG is preferable and easy.
