Welding technique
In MIG/MAG welding, the welder’s tool is a welding gun. It is used to introduce the filler material wire, shielding gas and the required welding current to the work piece. The most important issues related to MIG/MAG welding are the welding position, welding gun angle, wire stick out length, welding speed and the shape of the molten weld pool.
The arc is ignited with a trigger in the gun, and the gun is then moved at a steady welding speed along the weld groove. The formation of the molten weld must be observed. The position and distance of the welding gun relative to the work piece must be maintained constant.
It is particularly important that the welder concentrate on managing the molten weld at all times. A moment of wandering thoughts increases the risk of welding errors. In such cases, it is advisable to interrupt the welding for a moment and then resume.
