Is there any difference in tig and mig welding technique?

The basics are angle, gap and travel speed. That applies to every type of welding. Angle refers to the angle of the torch to the work piece. Gap refers to the distance between the electrode and the work piece and travel speed is how quickly you move the torch and feed the rod. With mig, the feed rate of the wire is controlled by the machine. It's up to the welder to move the torch at the proper speed to create a good weld. With tig, the rod is fed with one hand and the torch is controlled with the other. Tig is more forgiving than mig but also requires more practice. Watching a few videos on YouTube will give you a better idea on the differences.

Dont listen to these bozos (no offense Jimmy and Lucifer)

TIG is Tungsten Inert Gas

Basically its a torch with a non fusible tungsteb electrode shilded with argon and or helium (not always, hydrogen can be added in very small amounts.). The filler metal is a rod tgat you feed with the other hand. This is the best welding twchnique ever.

MIG (Metal Inert Gas iirc).

There is a torch, wire is coming from the torch abd is shilded by gas usually 75-25 Argon Co2

Good all purpose welding.

If i had to list the best processes here you go

#1 TIG and OA torch

#2 stick

#3 mig

#4 flux cored

From a professiona self taught fabricator welder (cert for tig), ebgine tuner, machinist... Aight i quit showin off !!

The main difference between MIG and TIG welding is that one method uses a continuously feeding electrode and is a very fast way of putting down welds. The other way is a much more fine and delicate welding technique. or more details find out on google

yep there is a great difference between tig and mig welding, I love MIG however the wire does get stuck on occasions

TIG welding is mainly used to weld aluminum and other hard to fuse metals, MIG is used in production lines for quick, strong welds.

Different gas for different metals.

nope identical in every way

Lol no
