Gas-shielded welding methods
MIG, MAG and TIG welding are methods in which the arc zone is protected from the atmosphere by a shielding gas. The difference between them lies in the type of gas and electrode used.
MIG welding
Uses inert gases such as argon or helium. It is preferred for aluminium and non-ferrous metals.
MAG welding
Uses an active gas (CO₂ or a mixed gas). It provides fast, economical welding on carbon steels and is the most common method in structural fabrication.
TIG welding
Performed with a non-consumable tungsten electrode. It is used on stainless steel and thin sheet when a clean, neat, high-quality weld is required.
Which method should you choose?
The choice depends on the material, thickness, weld appearance and production quantity. With our custom welded fabrication service, we work with you to determine the most suitable method for your project.
