The Confusion Around Mig Mag Welders

Some people might feel that all that's needed for welding is a blow torch emitting an incredibly scorching flame and a specialised mask to protect the eyes. While it's accurate that the two are essential to the welding procedure the kind of welder you're making use of determines the kind of welding you can undertake. Welding is a very vital component of manufacturing and engineering where metal parts are joined, as in the case of automobile assembly, for example. The joins must be strong and form an impenetrable seal so that water cannot get in and bring about rust.

People who have a general knowledge of welding are usually familiar with the method referred to as ‘arc welding’ in which an arc of either direct or alternating electrical current is used. The actual soldering of the place where two edges of metal connect occurs when a piece of metal is melted onto the joint to make a strong impenetrable seal. But to return to the subject regarding welders, there is a certain type of welder that is at times referred to as a ‘mig mag welder’ which usually confuses folks as to what it does. Permit me to explain in depth about mig mag welders and you will fully grasp what I mean.

Mig, or MIG, because it's in fact an acronym, stands for ‘metal inert gas’ while mag (MAG) stands for ‘metal active gas’. Both are welding methods which fall under the umbrella of the variety of welding known as GMAS or ‘gas metal arc welding’ described previously. It seems like these acronyms refer to two completely different types of gas metal arc welding so it's not really surprising that there's some confusion around mig mag welders. People don't know if they should ‘mig’ or ‘mag’, so to say.

Having said that, the difference between the MIG and MAG welding methods is small. The only genuine difference between the 2 is in the type of ‘shielding’ gas used. In the event that you didn't know: the function of the shielding gas is to protect the spot that is being welded from other gases in the atmosphere like carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen and even water vapour. The explanation why the welding surface has to be protected is because these atmospheric gases can make the job of welding harder and may even interfere with the efficiency of the weld as well.

With regards to whether you ought to ‘mig’ or ‘mag’, that may continue to be the question, suffice it to point out, mig mag welders allow you to swap between the MIG and MAG welding techniques which utilize diverse shielding gases as we've stated, hence the conflation of acronyms in the term.

There's a great deal extra to be stated on the subject of gas metal arc welding than what has been mentioned here. On the flip side, our intention in this article was simply to clean up the confusion around mig mag welders rather than to discuss welding by itself, however, if you would like to know more about types of welders and welding on the whole, then an internet search should provide additional in-depth information.
