8.5 MIG WELDING PRINCIPLES – FIGS. 7 – 8 The MIG welding process allows two similar materials to be fused together without altering the properties of the material. The electric arc created between the electrode (the welding wire) and the work piece produces the required heat for turning the metal into a molten state.
To increase the operation time, reduce the amperage. Use of an anti-spatter spray (Draper Stock No.05709) Note: The heating tests have been carried out at will help keep the end result more tidy. ambient temperature and the duty cycle (duty factor) at 20°C has been determined by simulation...
