Description: In this episode of our 1976 Mercedes Benz we go ahead and finish up on the front apron by painting it and installing the front fenders and hood! We also go ahead and mig weld the rocker panel fixing more rust, and then My Friend Pete gets hit in the head! #Welding #CarRestoration #RustRepair swrnc.com or 972-420-1293 What is mig welding MIG—i.e., metal inert gas—welding is generally used for large and thick materials. It employs a consumable wire that acts as both the electrode and the filler material. Compared to TIG welding, it is much faster, resulting in shorter lead times and lower production costs. What is the difference between Mig Welding and Tig Welding The difference between the two is the way the arc is used. MIG (metal inert gas) welding uses a feed wire that constantly moves through the gun to create the spark, then melts to form the weld. TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding uses long rods to fuse two metals directly together. M.I.G./M.A.G.S. Welding - Advantages and Disadvantages Higher welding speeds. Greater deposition rates. Less post welding cleaning (e.g. no slag to chip off weld) Better weld pool visibility. No stub end losses or wasted man hours caused by changing electrodes.
