The MIG/MAG welding process is simply indispensable in many situations and circumstances. It is used in the auto body industry and in a wide variety of craft workshops – it is suitable for domestic use as well as in heavy industry.

MIG/MAG (Metal Inert Gas) welding is a unique process of welding with bare welding wire in a protective gas atmosphere. Due to its outstanding applicability and unparalleled productivity, MIG welding of aluminium, iron and sheet metal is the most widely used process in industry.

The characteristics of MIG/MAG welding are as follows:

• The process is extremely simple, so you get used to the work very quickly.
• MIG/MAG welding can be carried out using the same machine. Buying a MIG/MAG welder is therefore a wise investment.
• The welding gas can be pure argon, a mixture of argon and oxygen or a mixture of argon and CO2.
• Versatility and outstanding efficiency.

Although the purchase of a MIG/MAG welder is slightly more expensive compared to electric arc welding equipment, it represents an extremely good investment for the future.

Compared to the MAG process, MIG welding is faster and easier. The quality of the workmanship is also higher, and the advantage is that slag removal is not even necessary.

What are the other advantages of the MIG welding process?

• The welds are clean and perfectly smooth, so the quality of the products is significantly higher.
• It can also be used for welding materials of greater thickness (up to 6 millimetres), which means it is also suitable for fences, stairs and large structures.
• It is very suitable for light metals and their alloys, as well as alloy steels and winding.

When it comes to more demanding welding of aluminium, MIG welding is the most sensible choice.
