- MIG welding and TIG welding both have their own benefits but what makes them different? What are some other differences that we left out?

Mig is caulking with sparks
Mig welding requires having hands, and tig welding requires having hands and a large set of manly balls..
Nah that’s stick welding, tig takes balls that are exfoliated and moisturized for maximum finesse.
Anyone can mig. Not everyone can do it well.
I’m in welding/fabrication school right now, and wow I can’t believe how much math welders use on a daily basis! I am totally in love with this line of work, and am absorbing knowledge like a sponge.
3 months in and we have done some tacking with the MIG welder, and I sort of went ahead and just practiced some strings/beads on my own after finishing my project. Had a hard time getting my hands stable for when I flipped my hood down(since I don’t have an auto darkening as of yet), any of you guys have tips for that? Tried resting my hand on a table but it just seems to jump every time I try and flip my hood down.
@@kaiju1366 what do you mean your hand jumps? If you’re resting it, if really shouldn’t move at all. Try resting both hands and using both to hold the gun, get into position and start. Make sure you are positioned in a way where your hands won’t end up getting in the way as you’re in the midst of end of your pass. You might already know this part but it also might be better to weld side to side instead of towards you since you can lean your head in and get a good view of what the electrode is doing, and that way you can keep a better eye on your puddle and how much stick out you have.
It might also help to be in an area with decent lighting but won’t get hood glare so you can *see* through your tinted lens. It sounds ridiculous and but sometimes I can see through my hood if I let my eyes adjust, albeit not well, but helpful nonetheless. Idk maybe I’m just a vampire 🧛🏻♀️, so see if that works for you too.
I’m in the same boat as you btw, been welding for about three months, this is what I know.
@@kaiju1366 It takes some getting use to and practice with the fixed shade. Keep using it. It teaches you to be in the correct position for starting your weld. But he’s resting your stabilizing hand on anything while mig welding is a good idea for a steady weld. I found with a fixed shade I tend to move a bit in general, I just role back real quick to the correct spot.
Tungsten Inert Gas or Metal Inert Gas
Mig looks like a mess but probably faster, Tig is cleaner and maybe for show welds.
Please explain the difference between current and amperage.
You mean the difference between voltage and amperage? The current is the amperage.
@williamwalters3796 - that's my point. He said current and amperage
@@grege2383 Just because a guy welds doesn't necessarily mean he's an electrician as well.
Current is measured in amperage, otherwise known as an Amp. Represented by the letter I.
Record the daily work of the factory
I’ll answer w/a question, Ever just close your eyes to put a tac on w/MIG? Same… ever done that with TIG?
Better question what's not diferent
huh they are completely different in every way shape and form other than it welds
They both use inert gas to prevent oxidation.
@@campbellpaul yeah but I was thinking a little more specific like the type of gas
@@kaleb6206 I believe technically, any inert gas would work for either, but aluminum needs a better oxygen barrier, hence why back-purging is also sometimes necessary.
Most things is different. Mig you typically run dcep. Tig is dcen/ac. Gas mig runs 25/75-> 5/95 (co2 to argon). Tig runs usually straight argon.
Oh! I’ve got a similarity! Both need some sort of delay before the machine actually runs. There needs to be actually shielding gas coming before the arc is formed.
But yeah very little is actually the same.
Wrong. U re wrong. Why , here is why. Tig is not only constant current. Not nowadays. Tig ac, tig square, tig triangle, tig pulse, and mamy more. Gas, well, argon, mix argon helium, or argon ”heavy”...
Wrong, Mig welding need 100% inert gas. When you use 75% argon 25% co2 its MAG welding.
Ones gay
Which one?
@@barretryanthe one he uses ;)
@@camden7488💀 It’s funny because it could be either one.
