PRODUCT DESCRIPTION (PRODUCT CAPABILITIES)
MIG welding stands for Metal Inert Gas welding and requires a
shielding gas to protect the weld until it cools. Appropriate
shielding gas based on the type of material you are welding
can be purchased separately from your local welding gas dis-
tributor. MIG welding is ideal for welding on thinner and clean
materials when a very clean excellent cosmetic looking weld is
required. An example would be automotive body panels.
