    Difference Between Mig and Tig Welding: Dolfred D'Souza

    Uploaded by

    Dolfred
    TIG welding uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode and separate filler wire, while shielding the arc with an inert gas. It provides superior quality welds but requires greater skill and is slower than MIG. MIG welding uses a consumable electrode wire as the filler metal and an inert gas shield. It requires less skill but can produce more oxidized welds. Both processes shield the weld area with inert gas but TIG allows more precise control and produces less spatter and distortion.

    DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MIG

    AND TIG WELDING

    Dolfred D’Souza
    Welding
    Welding process is “ a materials joining process
    which produces coalescence of materials by
    heating them to suitable temperatures with or
    without the application of pressure or by the
    application of pressure alone and with or without
    the use of filler material ”.
    What is TIG welding?
    Gas Tungsten Arc Welding
    (GTAW)

    TIG welding uses a NON-


    consumable tungsten or
    tungsten alloy electrode.

    Filler wire if used, is added to


    the weld pool separately.

    Inert Gas is fed through the torch to shield the


    electrode and molten weld pool.

    Shielding Gases

     Argon
     Helium
     Argon/Helium Mixtures
     Oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and
    carbon dioxide (CO2) –Reactive
    shielding gases
    What is MIG welding?
    Gas Metal Arc Welding
    (GMAW)

    MIG welding uses continuous


    filler metal (consumable)
    Electrode.

    Inert Gas is fed through the torch to shield the


    electrode and molten weld pool.

    TIG Advantages
     Superior quality welds
     Precise control of welding
    variables (heat)
     Pin Point Control
     Free of spatter
     No smoke or Fumes
     Low distortions
     Welds can be made with or
    without filler metal
    TIG Disadvantages

     Requires greater welder skill than MIG


     Slower Travel Speeds
     Lower Filler metal deposition rates
     Brighter UV rays
     More costly for welding thick sections
    MIG Advantages
     Less operator skill required
     All position capability
     Higher deposition rates
     Minimal post weld cleaning is
    required
     Long welds can be made without starts and stops
    MIG Disadvantages

     Heavily oxidized weld deposit


     Difficult arc starting
     Irregular wire feed
     Unstable arc
     Porosity
     Burn-Through
    Applications
