The main differences between MIG welding and electric welding
The main differences between MIG welding and electric welding lie in the protection method, welding efficiency, and applicable scenarios. Electric welding usually refers to manual arc welding, which uses the electrode coating for protection; MIG welding is carbon dioxide gas shielded welding, which uses gas protection.
Welding efficiency: MIG welding is fast, with high deposition efficiency, and requires no slag removal after welding; electric welding requires slag removal and electrode replacement, resulting in relatively lower production efficiency.
Operational difficulty: Electric welding requires distinguishing between molten metal and flux coating, demanding high welder skills; MIG welding is an open-arc operation with a clear field of vision, making it easier to learn.
