Production MIG and TIG Welding
From mass production to intricate custom welding CBM has the equipment and expertise to produce high quality welds for any product. MIG (Metal Inert Gas) A semi-automatic or automatic arc welding process in which a continuous and consumable wire electrode and a shielding gas are fed through a welding gun. Originally developed for welding aluminium and other non-ferrous materials in the 1940s, GMAW was soon applied to steels because it allowed for lower welding time compared to other welding processes. Today, MIG is the most common industrial welding process, preferred for its versatility, speed and the relative ease of adapting the process to robotic automation. TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) An arc welding process that uses a nonconsumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. The weld area is protected from atmospheric contamination by a shielding gas (usually an inert gas such as argon), and a filler metal is normally used, though some welds, known as autogenous welds, do not require it. TIG is most commonly used to weld thin sections of stainless steel and light metals such as aluminum, magnesium, and copper alloy.
