Guide to mig welding

A new Guide to Metal Inert Gas (MIG) Welding has been published by Murex welding Products.

The guide discusses the principles of the process and gives practical advice on how to carry out MIG welding tasks. Ease of use is a major benefit of MIG in many applications, but speed is also an advantage.

Murex comments that it is quicker to lay down weld metal with MIG than TIG, MMA or gas welding.

Typical applications are discussed.

These include automotive subassemblies and bodywork, ranging from conventional MIG for most bodywork to heavy duty MIG for lorry chassis, as well as lower current MIG brazing of thin gauge, high strength steels. Other applications include the assembly of white goods and office furniture, the joining of structural steelwork for the construction industry and repair work in ship yards.
