ARC Welding

Shielded Metal
Arc Welding

ARC welding uses a consumable rod clamped into an electrode holder. A ground clamps to the metal being welded, and an arc forms when the rod contacts the metal, producing intense heat to fuse materials together.

Generally used for ferrous materials. Popular for repair work, construction, and structural steel applications.

MIG Welding

Gas Metal
Arc Welding

MIG (GMAW) uses a continuous wire fed from a spool. The wire is held against the metal and heated using a gun that expels an inert shielding gas such as helium or argon.

Offers high welding speeds and clean welds. Often used for aluminum, sheet metal, and in the automotive industry.
