2. Gas metal arc welding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_metal_arc_welding

   Gas metal arc welding (GMAW), sometimes referred to by its subtypes metal inert gas (MIG) and metal active gas (MAG) is a welding process in which an electric arc forms between a consumable MIG wire electrode and the workpiece metal(s), which heats the workpiece metal(s), causing them to fuse (melt and join).

3. List of welding processes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_welding_processes

   This is a list of welding processes, separated into their respective categories. The associated N reference numbers (second column) are specified in ISO 4063 (in the European Union published as EN ISO 4063 ). [ 1 ]

4. Electroslag welding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroslag_welding

   Electroslag welding (ESW) is a highly productive, single pass welding process for thick (greater than 25 mm up to about 300 mm) materials in a vertical or close to vertical position. (ESW) is similar to electrogas welding, but the main difference is the arc starts in a different location. An electric arc is initially struck by wire that is fed ...

5. Electrogas welding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrogas_welding

   Electrogas welding (EGW) is a continuous vertical-position arc welding process developed in 1961 in which an arc is struck between a consumable electrode and the workpiece. A shielding gas is sometimes used, but pressure is not applied.

6. Shielding gas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shielding_gas

   Shielding gases are inert or semi-inert gases that are commonly used in several welding processes, most notably gas metal arc welding and gas tungsten arc welding (GMAW and GTAW, more popularly known as MIG (Metal Inert Gas) and TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas), respectively). Their purpose is to protect the weld area from oxygen, and water vapour ...

7. Welding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welding

   Gas metal arc welding (GMAW), also known as metal inert gas or MIG welding, is a semi-automatic or automatic process that uses a continuous wire feed as an electrode and an inert or semi-inert gas mixture to protect the weld from contamination. Since the electrode is continuous, welding speeds are greater for GMAW than for SMAW.
