Publisher: CWB Group
Format: E-learning Course
Length: 1.5 hours
Understand the fundamentals of gas metal arc welding!
Gas metal arc welding (GMAW)-more commonly known as MIG on the shop floor-is the most widely used welding method in the industry and is relatively easy to learn. In MIG, a spool of solid-steel wire is fed from the machine, through a liner, then out of a contact tip in the MIG gun. The contact tip is electrically charged, so when the trigger is pulled the wire melts to form the weld puddle. Inert gas flows out of the gun and keeps the weld puddle shielded from the atmosphere. The weld puddle cools and solidifies, molding to the workpiece.
