WELDING PROCESSES
There are more than 30 types of welding processes, but the most popular are Stick Welding (SMAW), MIG Welding (Metal Inert Gas), and TIG Welding (Tungsten Inert Gas).
Which welding process is best for your project? The type of welding process best suited for your specific needs is usually determined by the type of materials we’re trying to join together.
Below is a list of welding processes used at Gorski Welding, and a brief explanation of each.

GMAW, Gas Metal Arc (MIG)
Gas Metal Arc Welding, more commonly called MIG welding, is a welding process that fuses two pieces of metal by using a wire connected to an electrode current. Shielded gas is used along the wire electrode and this heats up the two metals, fusing the materials together.
MIG welding can be used on a wide variety of commercial metals such as carbon steel, high-strength low alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, titanium, and nickel alloys.
