    MIG WELDING PRINCIPLES MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding allows you to fuse together two similar metals without altering the properties of the metal. A consumable wire electrode is continuously fed through the welding torch that is fitted with a concentric gas nozzle. the wire is connected to a high voltage supply which creates an electric arc between the electrode (the wire) and the workpiece.
