MIG Welding

  • What Are the Differences Between MIG Welding versus Flux- Cored Arc Welding

    What Are the Differences Between MIG Welding versus Flux- Cored Arc Welding

    Flux-Core and MIG welding are two of the most commonly used welding techniques. Flux-Core welding uses a continuously-fed consumable electrode, which is shielded by a flux compound to protect the weld area from atmospheric contamination. MIG welding, on the other hand, uses a continuously-fed consumable wire electrode and a shielding gas to protect the weld…
