Can You Restore A Rusted Car? " At Home " - Part 14 - Mig Welding Lesson

In this episode of our 1976 Mercedes Benz we go ahead and install the complete front clip of the car, both front aprons and the radiator core support. It's welding time using a mig welder and making sure this unibody car is all in tact for safety and security.

What is mig welding
MIG—i.e., metal inert gas—welding is generally used for large and thick materials. It employs a consumable wire that acts as both the electrode and the filler material. Compared to TIG welding, it is much faster, resulting in shorter lead times and lower production costs.

What is the difference between Mig Welding and Tig Welding
The difference between the two is the way the arc is used. MIG (metal inert gas) welding uses a feed wire that constantly moves through the gun to create the spark, then melts to form the weld. TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding uses long rods to fuse two metals directly together.

M.I.G./M.A.G.S. Welding - Advantages and Disadvantages Higher welding speeds. Greater deposition rates. Less post welding cleaning (e.g. no slag to chip off weld) Better weld pool visibility. No stub end losses or wasted man hours caused by changing electrodes.
