Tungsten Inert gas or TIG welding generates heat by generating an arc of electricity from the tungsten electrode to a welding metal surface. The welding surface is typically made from steel or aluminum. To weld copper or titanium, TIG bonding can be used.
Metal Inert Gas, or MIG welding, uses electricity to melt and join metal pieces together. This is also called hot glue gun soldering. You can get to know more about TIG and MIG welding through https://ogis.com.au/services-capabilities/welding-service/.
There are differences between the two processes
Both MIG and TIG welding are popular. There are some differences in the process, the materials used and the applications.
The MIG and TIG welding processes differ in that MIG uses a continuous feeding wire, while TIG uses long soldering tubes.
The TIG welding process is either manual or automated. It uses a power source and tungsten electrode. A torch is used to light the metal filler rod.
MIG welding, a semiautomatic process that uses a wire feeder, torch and power source is possible.
The TIG welding process does not consume the tungsten electrode, while the MIG welding metal electrode exhausts completely.
Pipe bonding is one of the most common uses for TIG welding. This type of welding can be used for smaller gauge materials. This method is used to bond kitchen sinks and tool boxes.
