Learn about the different arc welding processes 

Gas metal-arc welding is a type of welding. In this process, an electric arc forms between an electrode and the metal using a welding machine. This arc uses heat input to melt the metal parts together. If needed, we also use a filler metal. Here, we distinguish between several methods.

Among these, MIG/MAG welding and TIG welding are the most used methods for the process. These differ based on the type of gas used and the choice of materials. They impress with maximum weld quality and a high weld speed.
