MIG or TIG – Which Process Is Right for Your Business?

In order to gain a competitive edge in the manufacturing and industrial industries, one must choose production companies that can provide the best welding services. In addition to services, there are many different welding techniques that can be used to manufacture products. Even though some techniques can speed up productivity rates in the manufacturing industry, quality is the ultimate goal. Here are some reasons why one should consider using MIG welding and TIG welding techniques for their products.

The Advantages of Metal Gas Arc Welding

The Metal Inert Gas welding process has several advantages that can help your business to increase productivity. This process uses a consumable wire and electrode to weld. Gas metal arc welding produces faster results, that is why it is one of the most commonly used welding processes in the world. It is used in everything from hobbies, shipbuilding, repairs, construction projects, and fabrications. Here are some additional factors that make the metal gas arc welding process a more desirable one for many businesses:

• Gas shielding offers protection to the arc and significantly reduces the loss of alloys. Very minimal waste and splatter is produced.
• Highly versatile technique that can be used on various alloys and metals.
• Process can be semi and fully automated, depending on production needs.
• The MIG welding process is easier and cheaper to use.

The Advantages of TIG Welding

The Tungsten Inert Gas welding process is also known as the gas tungsten arc welding technique. It is most commonly used on steel, certain types of aluminum, gold, bronze, and brass metals. This process uses inert gases and tungsten metals to weld two pieces of metal together. Here are several reasons why businesses can benefit from the tungsten inert gas welding process:

• Precise control with temperature regulation creates cleaner and higher quality welds.
• No smoke, fumes, splatter, and less alloy waste.
• Although these two welding techniques are similar, they have their own set of advantages. Contact a welding manufacturer to learn more on how these processes can take your business to the next level.
