MIG Wire (Metal Inert Gas Wire), also known as filler wire or electrode wire, is a key component in the MIG welding process. It serves as the consumable material that melts to form the weld during the welding process. MIG welding, also called Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), involves feeding this wire through a welding gun while simultaneously applying a shielding gas to protect the weld from atmospheric contamination.
MIG wire is available in different materials and sizes, depending on the type of metal being welded and the specific application. Common materials include mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, making it versatile for various industrial and automotive applications.
