    What are the key differences between TIG and MIG welding?

    The main difference between TIG and MIG welding is that the electric arc is originated in between burnable electrode and metal workpiece in
    MIG welding while an electric arc is formed in between non-consumable electrode and base metal In TIG welding.

    All differences are well described in the below-given table:

    S.no MIG Welding TIG Welding

    It stands for metal inert gas welding and is also known It stands for tungsten inert gas welding and is also
    1.
    as gas metal arc welding (GMAW) known as gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW)

    In this process of arc welding, the electric arc is


    In this method of arc welding, the electric arc is formed
    2. originated in between burnable electrode and metal
    in between non-consumable electrode and base metal
    workpiece

    The electrode utilized is a non-consumable tungsten


    3. The electrode employed is burnable electrode wires
    electrode

    The technique is simple and does not require high- The process demands the person be highly skilled in
    4.
    level skills to execute this type of welding order to accomplish the task

    5. The deposition rate is very high in MIG welding The deposition rate is low in TIG welding

    It may require filler metal which depends on if you have


    Filler metal is not necessary to employ this technique
    6. to form a joint between two metals by fusing them, then
    because consumable electrode acts as a filler metal
    you do not need a filler metal

    You will be able to weld up to 4 cm of workpiece You will be able to weld up to 0.5 cm of the workpiece

    The equipment utilized in the MIG welding technique The equipment used in the TIG welding technique is a

    9. It utilizes continuous wire feed It does not manipulate continuous wire feed

    You can not employ this technique in different

    11. The process is super fast The process is time-consuming

    Final Words:

    Both MIG and TIG are arc welding techniques, and they have their pros and cons. A welder should have experience with both these techniques
    as they have a wide range of applications. Moreover, if you have to weld thinner and low melting point metals, then TIG welding is preferable
    over MIG welding as it will
