Advantages and Disadvantages of Metal Inert Gas Welding (MIG Welding)

Advantages of Metal Inert Gas Welding (MIG Welding): 

1. Consumable electrodes are easy to feed. 

2. No filler rod is needed. 

3. Welding is simple. 

4. Inert gas shield protects the weld automatically.

Disadvantages of Metal Inert Gas Welding (MIG Welding):

 1. Improper welding may lead to the floating of solid impurities over the liquid weld.

2. If not handled properly, weld may become porous. 

3. MIG Welding exposes welders to hazardous gases. 

4. Care must be taken to avoid the formation of less ductile welds. 

5. Work pieces and Electrodes should be kept clean before welding.
