How to differentiate FCAW, GMAW? What is MIG & MAG.....
Reply:FCAW Flux cored arc welding, GMAW Gas metal arc welding, MIG Metal inert gas welding, MAG someone else will have to do that one. I may be wrong but I think GMAW and MIG are the same. FCAW is the same as MIG with out the sheilding gas and with flux cored wire. If I am not right someone else can fix where I was wrong.
Reply:MIG is an older term. More or less generic. Doesn't always apply as it gets used anymore but the term stuck. Manufacturers use it for all their stand alone gas + wire feeds so it ain't going away anytime soon. The situation surrounding MAG is similar except coined in Europe.Last edited by Sandy; 03-09-2008 at 11:18 PM.
Reply:MAG would be metal active gas, MIG is metal inert gas, FCAW is flux core arc welding, GMAW is gas metal arc welding. GMAW can be MIG or MAG depending on the gas used. But you rarely hear anyone say mag... MIG may be the incorrect term in some applications but its the common phrase.I like to party!
Reply:Pretty much everybody says MIG anymore when they're talking about any kind of wire-feed welding. It doesn't help that Harbor Freight and other mickey-mouse outfits advertize their flux-core wire-feed machines as 'gassless mig welders', or other inaccurate names. It's like calling an adjustable wrench a Cresent or a locking plier a Vice-Grip or a sliding plier a Channel-Lock. MIG is with us forever and it's mis-use will only become more common with time.MM350P/Python/Q300MM175/Q300DialarcHFHTP MIG200PowCon300SMHypertherm380ThermalArc185Purox oaF350CrewCab4x4LoadNGo utilitybedBobcat250XMT304/Optima/SpoolmaticSuitcase12RC/Q300Suitcase8RC/Q400Passport/Q300Smith op |
