The MIG welding machine uses a spool of continuously fed wire to join pieces of metal. Welders can use it to work on aluminum, nickel, steel and stainless steel. Typically, experts employed in the commercial manufacturing and fabrication industries use these machines.
The advantages of using a MIG welding machine are multifarious. Here are few of them:
Efficient and Clean
MIG welding machines use a shielding gas in order to protect the arc and therefore results in minimal loss of alloying elements when metal comes in contact with the arc. As opposed to stick welding that requires removing slag, MIG eliminates the need to do so as there is no slag left behind and it generates minimal weld spatter. With minimal clean up, the equipment is easy to put back to work in a fraction of the time.
Faster welding speed
The uninterrupted fed wire allows the welders to keep both their hands free for the welding process. This in turn enhances the welding speed, overall control and the quality of the weld.
Versatile
The biggest advantage of using a MIG welding machine, it is extremely versatile and can weld alloys and metals efficiently. The workers can operate it in different ways including fully automatic and semi-automatic. The welding process sure is useful for a plethora of home welding project but it is also effective for use in several others industries. The metals that MIG machines can work on include stainless steel, aluminum, copper, magnesium, mild steel, and nickel, iron and its alloys.
Higher Productivity
Most welders would be able to benefit from higher productivity due to the total time they can save by not changing the rods constantly or chipping away the slag. Also, the welders don’t need to brush the weld, which also saves time.
To conclude, the MIG welding Machine is super easy to learn and widely preferred for its simplicity. Welders can easily learn how to use the equipment in a few hours where they spend majority of the time in learning ways to clean the weld properly.
