GMAW Welding
MIG stands for metal inert gas, and the process involves the feeding of solid-steel wire through a machine and out of a tip on the MIG gun part of the machine to melt the wire. The process was developed in the 1940s as a method for producing equipment and weapons more quickly, and it then gained popularity in factories and manufacturing. The process is now sometimes referred to as gas metal arc welding (GMAW) because of the introduction of carbon dioxide as one of the shielding gasses used in the process.
When taking all of the necessary precautions for safety, there are many benefits to GMA welding, including the ability to work on aluminum, stainless steel, and mild steel. Minimal mess and a fairly simple to learn process, round off the advantages. Plus, with the right tools and techniques, GMA wedling can help for any number of DIY projects and translates into a marketable skill for professionals.
