All welding processes have their positive and negative features. MIG/GMAW is easy to learn and use. It can be used on a large variety of materials and thicknesses (especially very thin). The welding lead is much lighter than a SMAW lead. When used with Flux-core wire inert gas is not needed in most cases. The machines are reasonably priced. Welding can be done in all positions without adjusting the Amperage. Very little smoke is produced allowing you to see the weld in progress. Large machines, using thick wire, can lay down a lot of weld in each pass. Some machines are controlled by computer and the welds are very accurate, this eliminates the need for an operater (Weldor). There is no need to stop and insert new Electrodes so deposition rates are higher plus no Electrode stubs to dispose of.

Which welding process is used primarily for welding ferrous metals such as iron and steel?
The Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) process is primarily used for welding ferrous metals like iron and steel. This process involves using a consumable electrode coated in a flux to create the weld joint.
How strong mig welding is?
it kind of welding for welding thin sextodecimos with depth and influence in places where welding company's and pullulation bed with a good quality for other fashion seems to be appropriate. If you are asking "how do you determine the tensile strength of MIG welding?" The aswer is it is stated on the box and spool. The number 70 means 70,000 lbs tensile strength same as the 70 in 7018 electrodes.
MIG welding compared to flux core welding?
Flux core is a type of MIG welding.... please kind of know what your talking about before you ask a question.... Gas assisted solid mig wire welding is neater and cleaner. There are two types of flux core mig welding that you are talking about. 1. Gasless flux core mig wire 2. Shielded flux cored welding wire, uses a shielding gas as well. Most likely you are talking about the gasless mig wire. look here for more info: www.learn-how-to-weld.com/gasless-mig-wire.html
What types of welding used for 8 mm thickness metals?
For welding 8 mm thickness metals, common methods include MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding, TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, and stick welding (SMAW - Shielded Metal Arc Welding). The choice depends on the type of metal and specific requirements.
What welding process is used to weld cast iron?
arc welding such as SMAW (stick), GMAW (mig). Some cast metals may be brazed for certain applications. The actual properties of the Cast metal will be needed for the type of electrode and/or process.
What is a welding machine?
metal inert gas (MIG) welding
Plasma welding is an extension of?
Mig
Name of the type of welding?
One type of welding is tube welding. Another type if mig welding.
What type of gas is used when mig welding steal?
When MIG welding STEEL a mixture of Argon -- CO2 is used. 75% - 25%
What is a automated welding machine?
metal inert gas (MIG) welding
What type of welding are used in Ship building?
Ships are built in segments or sections usually in a building for protection from the elements, rain, snow, heat etc. Automatic MIG (GMAW) is used as much as possible. Manual MIG and stick (SMAW) are then used in places or positions automatic machines cannot get to. These sections are transported to building ways where they are joined together to form the ships structure. Thick sections are sometimes welded with the submerged arc welding process. MIG welding is then used where ever possible and stick welding is used every where else. Smaller pipe systems and light gauge sheet metal structures are usually TIG (GTAW) welded. Large pipe sections are MIG welded on rollers. Some are stick welded when in place on the ship. Newer processes such as Laser Welding is making inroads in heavy fabrications.
What Is The Correct Polarity For MIG Welding?
DCEP for standard Mig. DCEN for Flux Core
