What is MIG Welding? (GMAW)

[@statostheman]

Each time you weld, you honor my late father. My father invented the current mig/mag nuzzle with the patent nr: 4956541. RIP my dad, Ossi Hiltunen.

[@asimfirdous8646]

This is a brilliantly judged introductory explanation of MIG / GMAW welding. Speaking as a commercial welder with more than 15 years of experience and having studied welding issues and done research on welding previously. This is so "Goldilocks" - "just right". I wanted to explain to a friend, and you provide the explanation I was looking for - with those graphics which convey it all so readily.

[@MoneyMikeMurray]

Thank you for a simple explanation. Everything on KZbin is so convoluted.

[@donalain69]

finally a good, clear explanation... been searching trough tons of “what is mig welding”videos of some people who talk 20 or 30 minutes but never get to the point.

[@greenberrytortoise1723]

As a mechanical Engineer i have studies topics of welding in production engineering and ill be very honest i never understood what the hell and how hell it happen and for my interviews i never prepared for welding because i found this topic very difficult to understand it was a good luck that no one asked me question related to welding.But after watching your video i think im very confident and prepared if anyone ask me question related to welding Damn son keep it up very well explained

[@richardsmart2255]

I was trying to figure out how to explain mig welding to my friend who wants to use my everlast mig welder. Thanks for this video.

[@stuart1001]

He just covers the basics. Most common wires are solid wire and flux core. They sound different when using them. So do not match the sound with the one you are comfortable with. Solid wire crackles in use and flux sounds like its melting hot with a slight crackle sound. Need that slight crackle to avoid porosity. Also with flux you run the wire straight. I find with solid wire if you do small circles or back and forth motions. The weld looks heaps neater. Make sure you have the correct thickness of wire and if your weld becomes a bit messy. Its most likely the hole in the tip is larger from use. I work with so many qualified tradesmen and they still can't weld.

[@MikeP350]

Solid wire and flux are 2 different processes. Sound is not important to solid wire, it's only relative to what mode of metal transfer you are running in. Pull, push, circles, zig zags... really doesn't matter with solid wire on a short circuit transfer, just preference and relative to your weld position. "Crackling" in flux is not relative to porosity. Many reasons for porosity, but sound is not one of them. Proper resistance at the tip to preheat your flux before entering the weld pool is the important part when running flux. You're calling out others for not being able to weld, so I'm calling you out for your vague and distorted welding theories lol

[@MikeP350]

Pretty welds are not always strong welds, strong welds are not always pretty

[@swedesruleallothers]

This video has made a major mistake. I am trying to find videos on actual mig welding. Mig as they said in the video stands for metal inert gas. Carbon dioxide is not an inert gas thus it should be referred to as MAG welding (metal active gas) in Europe or GMAW in the USA which includes both MIG and MAG welding. I work as a welder in a boiler maker shop and am trying to find videos on specifically MIG welding on speciality metals but it is impossible to find when everyone refers to MAG welding as MIG welding. MIG welding on speciality metals such as aluminum or in my case 253 MA has a completely different feel to it than MAG welding. Welder problems.

[@MrTacoSr]

true even in our amateur school shop we use pure argon not carbon dioxide argon mix because CO2 is not a noble gas

[@giovannimedici1309]

i'm so glad someone else also noted this

Short of additional explanation of how do MIG welding weld into base metal. i.e. what type of mixing gas you should use, required gas pressure need in order make the base metal and filler wire fuse together. Just to make your vlog complete and not confusing.

[@Kili_karli]

Just a quick question isn’t that argon co2 mix an active gas mix making it mag (metal active gas)? MiG would be pure Argon no?

[@Useruserusername790]

Argon is a Noble gas and those refuse to mix with the Commoner gasses like Co2. That's why they call them Noble gasses. It's just like how Noble families refuse to mix with Commoner families.

[@WeldNotes]

MIG is the common term for gas metal arc welding in the USA, regardless of the gas used. The AWS designation of this family of processes is GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding). MIG and (the seldom used MAG) are nonstandard terminology in the US. Other countries have their own standards obviously.

[@patrakitkomolkiti9620]

[@vivekkhandelwal6565]

Which filler should be used to weld AISI4130 material using mig welding,and can i use co2 for mig welding

[@supersendojarren]

Im trying to learn to weld and I'm going to school for it in the fall. My welder is wire fed but it doesn't have gas to it. What is this kind of welder called and how can a run a good bead with it? My welder is old so I really don't know much about it, I Know I can control it's wire speed and the power/current. I honestly don't know much about electricity either but I got someone explaining it little by little as we go

[@WeldNotes]

You probably have a flux core machine. You can weld excellent welds with flux core but the technique is a little different from MIG. Good luck in school!

[@supersendojarren]

@@WeldNotes thank you welding person. I'm gonna go watch videos for running beads with flux core. Friend told me to get good at that cause it's probably what they'll make me do a lot in school

Sir which is the best welder mig or arc welder for metal please inform me

[@KS-xx5xq]

This video is good but, Its a tip of an iceberg. It doesnt say - basic things for welders -what gases you use to protect the arc, why do you use those, what metals do you weld with which, what are arc types etc. American GMAW stands for both MIG and MAG methods, which differ by gas type used but not only that. Also 1:27 a mix of Ar+CO2 in MIG ? Anything that contains oxygen is active by definition, in MIG you use only inactive (inert) gases to weld for example reactional metals like Al or Ti (though its common to use 100% Ar and spray arc to weld steel also).

As much as I like this short clip, I'd like to point at a mistake and it's important not to ignore it: MIG or GMAW does not solely produce fillet welds. unlike what's indicated here, It could be used to make groove welds as well.

[@nevinkuser9892]

@@nevinkuser9892 There are two major welds: Groove weld and fillet weld. Unless you're joking, I suggest you to get the basic welding references and study them.
