MIG Welding 101 BY: DEVON DECK
Overview. MIG= Metal Inert Gas WeldingAn arc is struck between an electrode and the metal to be welded. The electrode used in the machine shop is Copper wire and is in the form of continuous filler metal. The weld is shielded by an inert gas, CO2, to prevent oxidation.
