I'm confused
I weld steel with CO2 which is an inert gas so am I mig (metal inert gas) welding or mag (metal active gas) welding?
thought the idea of any welding gas, was to remove the oygen from the weld pool & arc in order to prevent oxidisation & corruption of the weld.
think the clue is in the "inert gas" part... :doh:
well if you can find me one person on the planet that can mig weld mild stell id love to meet him,
MIG/MAG welding is used on all thicknesses of steels, aluminium, nickel, stainless steels etc. The MAG process is suitable both for steel and unalloyed, low-alloy and high-alloy based materials. The MIG process, on the other hand, is used for welding aluminium and copper materials.
there you go everone calls there welder a mig welder when infact its more than likly a mag![]()
