But before that, it’s vital to understand the variety of processes we use and which may best suit your sheet metal fabrication project.
MIG & TIG Welding Methods
By choosing the correct welding procedure for your parts, we can shorten turn around times & provide premium-quality results. The main difference between MIG — metal inert gas — and TIG — tungsten inert gas — is that one has a constant feeding wire and the other doesn’t. While TIG requires you to use welding rods and feed them through the weld puddle, MIG has a continuous flow. However, both use an electric arc to make welding possible.
MIG is an easy and simple process where a welder works with a continuously feeding spool of wire. The method involves burning the metal and fusing the base and parent metals together. It can work with materials such as stainless steel, mild steel and aluminum. While we can weld a range of thicknesses, MIG is ideal for forming thicker materials and in less time compared to TIG. Also known as gas metal arc welding, it’s a faster technique and is easier to use, more forgiving and great for first-timers.
The TIG method uses non-consumable tungsten electrodes and instead runs a current through the metals. It’s often used for thinner-gauge pieces because it takes more time to heat the parts to create a bond. TIG is a finer and more delicate process that requires more control over the pressure, timing and electric current. It sometimes relies on computer controls as opposed to by-hand and is for experienced professionals.

Trying to determine which service your parts require comes down to the job at hand. If you are working with thicker pieces, MIG may be the best bet while TIG is an excellent choice for thinner welding jobs.
