Fast, clean wire-feed welding for steel, stainless and aluminum, ideal for fabrication, repairs and production-style runs.
MIG welding, also called gas metal arc welding, feeds a wire electrode through a gun while shielding gas protects the pool. It is fast, produces clean welds and suits a huge range of jobs, from thin sheet to thick plate, on steel, stainless and aluminum.
It is the workhorse of fabrication shops and field trucks alike. We use MIG for gates, frames, racks, trailers, brackets and structural work where speed and appearance matter. Wind can blow shielding gas away, so for breezy outdoor jobs we may switch to flux-cored wire or stick.
MIG lays down smooth, consistent beads quickly. That keeps labor down and finishes cleanly, with less grinding.
The wire alloy, diameter and shielding gas depend on the metal and thickness. Correct choices give strong, spatter-free welds.
Strong wind, rusty or dirty metal and very thick sections can favor flux-cored wire or stick. We pick the process that suits the conditions.
MIG results depend on voltage, wire speed, travel speed and gas flow. We test on a scrap piece before welding your part, so the settings suit the metal and thickness.

Metal inert gas. The process uses a continuously fed wire and a shielding gas to protect the weld.
Wind can disrupt the gas shield. We use windscreens or switch to flux-cored wire or stick when it is breezy.
Yes, with the right machine and technique. For very thick or critical joints we may combine processes.
A good MIG weld is strong. Strength depends on preparation, settings and technique more than on the process name.
Yes. We test on matching scrap to dial in the machine, so the first weld on your part is a good one.
