Metal shielding gas welding is an economic welding procedure which is well-suited to uniform welding sequences. The weld metal demonstrates good properties, and the method features high productivity, whether applied manually or automatically. The arc burns between the welding wire and the workpiece in gas shielded metal arc welding. The solid wire is automatically fed through the centre of the welding torch. The shielding gas is also passed through the welding torch, and encloses the weld pool during the welding process. The weld seam is therefore shielded from the surroundings.
The gases used in MAG welding are active. Carbon dioxide, or a gas mixture, is used. In practice, MAG welding under a mixture of gases has prevailed, as it has a lower tendency to spatter and a higher deposition rate than welding using 100 % carbon dioxide. In MIG welding, inert gases such as argon, helium, and their mixtures are used. These shielding gases do not react with either the base materials or the welding consumables.
The MSG method can be used with a wide range of materials, welding positions and degrees of mechanization. It permits welding with a manually held torch as well as fully automated robot methods. The deposition rate is very high, and productivity is high too.
