Welding is a fabrication method that utilises heat and (or) pressure to create a strong connection between two separate pieces of material. Depending on the specific task requirements, we can employ various welding methods for the material. Two of the most common processes are TIG and MIG Welding. Check out the differences below:
TIG Welding
Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding stands out for its precision and versatility in application. TIG welding utilises a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce a precise and controlled arc, resulting in a clean outcome. This method is ideal for thinner materials and intricate welds, ensuring minimal distortion and a polished finish. Additionally, TIG welding is a favourite for industries where aesthetics and precision are paramount, such as aerospace and automotive applications.
MIG Welding
Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding is the go-to for efficiency and speed. This process involves a consumable wire electrode fed through a welding gun, creating an arc that melts and fuses metal pieces. MIG welding finds its niche in thicker materials and high-volume projects, earning it a prime position in industries such as construction and shipbuilding.
