The Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), process is commonly known as the Metal Inert Gas Process (MIG). MIG welding is also referred to as short circuit transfer. In the MIG arc welding process, metal parts are joined by melting base and filler metals with an arc struck between a consumable filler metal wire and the base alloy work piece. The filler metal wire or consumable electrode is continuously fed and fused with the work piece. Externally supplied gas or gas mixtures provide shielding. In normal metal inert gas processing, no metal is transferred across the arc; metal is only deposited when the wire actually touches the work. In spray transfer MIG welding, a stream of tiny molten droplets travels across the arc from the electrode to the weld puddle. Usually, equipment suitable for MIG welding is capable of performing flux cored arc welding processes and vice versa.
