1 Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) - commonly termed MIG (metal, inert gas), uses a wire feeding gun that feeds wire at an adjustable speed and flows an argon-based shielding gas or a mix of argon and carbon dioxide (CO 2) over the weld puddle to protect it from atmospheric contamination.
Manual Metal Arc (MMA) WeldingAiming for cleaner, high quality welds at lower cost. Manual Metal Arc (MMA) welding is the most flexible and one of the most widely used arc welding processes. It involves striking an arc between a covered metal electrode and a workpiece. The heat of the arc melts the parent metal and the electrode which mix together to form, on cooling, a continuous solid mass.
