Explain the working principle of MIG welding with neat sketch.

1 Answer

Answer :

MIG Welding: Gas-metal-arc welding is a gas shielded metal arc welding process which uses the high heat of an electric arc between a continuously fed, consumable electrode wire and the material to be welded. Metal is transferred through protected arc column to the work. In this process, the welding machine is a D.C. constant voltage which at a given wire feed rate will produce necessary current to produce arc. The wire is fed continuously from a reel through a gun to constant surface which imparts a current upon the wire. The welding gun is either air cooled or water cooled depending upon the current being used. The fused electrode material is supplied to the surfaces of the work pieces, fills the weld pool and forms joint. The welding area is flooded with a gas (an inert gas i.e. Argon, helium, CO2, argon + Oxygen or other gas mixtures) which will not combine with metal. Carbon dioxide is most commonly used as it inexpensive.
