Specialist Engineers are experts in MIG and TIG welding in Cyprus. But what is MIG and TIG welding and how is it used?

MIG WELDING

What is MIG? MIG stands for metal inert gas. In MIG, a spool of solid-steel wire is fed from the machine, through a liner, then out of a contact tip in the MIG gun. The contact tip is hot, or electrically charged, when the trigger is pulled and melts the wire for the weld puddle.

TIG WELDING

TIG uses a tungsten electrode that is nonconsumable. In other words it does not burn up like an electrode in stick welding or the wire in metal inert gas (MIG) welding does. The tungsten acts as the torch: It generates heat, which melts the metal and/or filler metal.
