Precision Metal Works provides MIG Welding and TIG Welding services to companies across the nation. We have been MIG Welding and TIG Welding since 1986.
MIG Welding
MIG welding is a welding process in which an electric arc forms between a wire electrode and a workpiece metal. This heats the workpiece metal(s), causing them to melt and join.
Along with the wire electrode, a shielding gas feeds through the welding gun, which shields the process from contaminants in the air. The process can be semi-automatic or automatic.
There are four primary methods of metal transfer in MIG Welding, called globular, short-circuiting, spray, and pulsed-spray, each of which has unique properties and advantages and limitations.
TIG Welding
TIG Welding, is an arc welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. The weld area is protected from contamination by an inert shielding gas (argon or helium), and a filler metal is normally used, though some welds, do not require it.
A welding power supply produces electrical energy, which is conducted across the arc through a column of highly ionized gas and metal vapors known as a plasma.
TIG Welding is commonly used to weld thin sections of stainless steel and non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, magnesium, and copper alloys. This gives the operator greater control over the weld than competing processes such as shielded metal arc welding and gas metal arc welding, allowing for stronger, higher quality welds.
TIG Welding is complex and difficult to master and it is significantly slower than most other welding techniques.
