MIG welding: metal inert gas welding. (inert)
An inert gas is e.g. argon or argon + helium. It has the task of protecting the weld metal, the melting wire electrode and the arc from the oxidizing effect of the atmospheric oxygen. Application: for non-ferrous metals (NE)
MAG welding: metal active gas welding. (chemically active)
An active gas, for example, is a gas from the protective gas group M21 also known by names such as mixed gas 18 or MIX 18 (manufacturer designations). These inert gases react during the welding process and can influence the seam surface, metallurgy, penetration behaviour, arc stability and drop transition. Also, it protects the weld metal, the melting wire electrode and the arc from the harmful, oxidizing effect of atmospheric oxygen. Application: for steels
