MIG/MAG Welding
The industry's most widely used welding method — fast, efficient and suitable for a wide range of materials.
Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), commonly known as MIG/MAG welding, is a continuous wire-fed arc welding process carried out under a shielding gas atmosphere. Depending on whether the shielding gas is chemically reactive, it is classified as MIG (inert gas, for non-ferrous metals) or MAG (active gas, for deep penetration in steels).
When the trigger on the welding torch is pressed, the bare welding wire advances at a constant speed; the electric arc formed as the wire tip contacts the workpiece melts both the wire and the base metal. Formlaser's MIG/MAG welding line uses short-circuit transfer (thin materials, tight positions), spray transfer (thick materials, high efficiency) and pulsed transfer (aluminum, aesthetic seams) depending on the application.
MIG/MAG welding is the most widely used, fast and efficient welding method in the automotive industry, heavy and structural steel fabrication, shipbuilding, pressure vessels and pipelines, and light manufacturing/workshop applications.
