Gas metal arc welding, also known as MIG (Metal Inert Gas), is extremely versatile and suitable for welding almost all commercial metal thicknesses, from light sheets to heavy plates and structural shapes. It can be used to join carbon, steel, high-strength, low-alloy steels, stainless steel, aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, copper alloys, and nickel alloys.
MIG was originally developed for production welding. Small, low-cost process sources, wire feeders, and guns have been developed for use in plants and for maintenance welding. MIG has also gained increased popularity in the auto body repair industry and among artists producing welded sculptures.
