MIG CO2 Welding (Carbon dioxide)

MIG CO2 Welding (Carbon dioxide)

Learn the essentials of CO₂-based Metal Inert Gas welding, focusing on safety, equipment handling, and high-quality weld joints in various applications.

Course Details

Overview

MIG CO₂ welding—also known as MAG (Metal Active Gas) welding—is a specialized variation of the traditional MIG welding process. Unlike MIG, which uses inert gases like Argon or Helium, MAG welding uses Carbon Dioxide as the shielding gas. This makes it particularly effective for welding carbon and low-alloy steels ranging from 1.6 mm to 6 mm or more. The process is semi-automatic, with arc length and wire feed controlled automatically. It uses a DC power source, a wire feeder pulling wire from a spool, a goose-neck-shaped welding gun, and a high-pressure CO₂ gas cylinder. This method offers higher welding speed, deeper penetration, a smooth bead finish, and strong mechanical properties. It is widely applied in manufacturing, automotive, and construction sectors.
