5. MIG (GMAW) welding guidelines

Work piece preparation

Welding  joint  describes  the  welding  spot  and  exact  position  of  work  pieces  to  be  welded  together.
Work  piece  preparation,  groove  form  and  width,  material  type  and  thickness,  together  with  certain
welding technique all determine joint type.

Around the groove  work pieces should be dry  and clean, free of rust, metallic coating, dirt, colour or
grease.
