A MIG welder, or Metal Inert Gas welder, uses a wire electrode to create strong welds in metal. It's versatile, used in manufacturing, automotive, and construction for its ease of use and ability to weld various metals efficiently.
Wire Electrode and/or Gas
A wire electrode and gas are essential components used in MIG welding. The wire electrode melts to create the weld bead, while the gas (typically a shielding gas like argon or a mix) protects the weld pool from atmospheric contamination, ensuring strong, clean welds in metal fabrication and repair.
Welding Helmet and Gloves
A welding helmet protects the face and eyes from sparks, UV light, and heat during welding. Welding gloves shield hands from burns and sparks. Both are essential safety gear for welders to prevent injuries and ensure safe working conditions.
