MIG Welding Services

FZE Manufacturing is a premier metal fabricator, providing full-service machining and manufacturing services in support of an expansive range of industries. Our welders have extensive expertise in numerous metal welding processes for mild carbon steel, stainless-steel or aluminum welding projects, including metal inert gas (MIG) welding.

What is MIG Welding?

A form of arc welding, MIG welding is the most common welding technique. This highly versatile form of welding is also called gas metal arc welding (GMAW). MIG welding creates an electrical arc between a consumable metal electrode on the welding gun and the metal surface of the workpiece. As this electrode melts, it creates a weld pool that helps to create a firm joint between the two items being welded together. An inert shielding gas prevents the melted metal from reacting to atmospheric contaminants or elements.

Advantages of MIG Welding

MIG welding offers numerous advantages, making it highly popular across industries. Some of these advantages include:

• Cleanliness and efficiency. MIG welding is often described as a “point-and-shoot” process because it is easy to learn. The process produces clean welds without causing slag buildup or requiring brushing.
• Higher productivity. Given the relatively fast pace of MIG welding compared to other methods and the clean welds it provides facilitates a higher throughput.
• Versatile. MIG welding offers compatibility with a wide variety of metals and alloys, such as stainless steel, aluminum, mild steel, copper, magnesium, nickel, and many other types of alloys, including iron alloys.
• Speed. Since MIG welding uses a continuously fed wire, the welder doesn’t need to stop and start to replace rods or feed the wire. This results in better speed, quality, and control.
• High-quality welds. Since MIG welding is flux-free, it eliminates the risk of trapped slag. That translates to higher quality welds.
• Little loss of alloys. Because MIG welding uses a gas blanket, it minimizes alloy loss compared to many other welding techniques.
