Glenn Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 What are the best reasons to choose the arc (mig) wire type of welding over other types. What are the minimum and maximum thickness arc (mig) wire type of welding can handle? Any advice on the process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbillysmith Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 The reason is simple; you can weld thinner sections and it is a substantially faster process. The thickness ranges from 1/16 inch to as thick as you want. Like stick, you just need to know the proper ways to weld whatever it is yo want to weld.

eburgblue Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I use mig when I have a large job and need to lay alot of metal fast. Almost never use my stick anymore. Usually only use it when doing cast because I can just grab a couple rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aametalmaster Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I also use my mig 99% of the time from sheetmetal to heavy plate. I have welded steel, alum, brass, stainless steel, with alot of different wires i have in stock. I keep steel 070-S6 in 3 different diameters as well as silicon brass for sheetmetal. Flux core that uses gas for heavy plate works great. I also have gasless flux core for outside welding, but i don't like it...Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
