Anyone heard of MTAW, as opposed to GTAW?I am quoting a part that lists MTAW as an alternative on stainless 316 alloy.

Reply:Metal Tungsten Arc Welding I think it's a British thing, same thing different words.
Reply:Hello shovelon, so I haven't heard of that particular acronym. Do you know what it stands for? If I were to take a guess maybe: "Mechanized Tungsten Arc Welding", but that is just a guess. Kind of like how the europeans use MMA to denote the SMAW process. Best regards, Allanaevald
Reply:I saw this in an aircraft welding publication from Australia (page A9):(apparently a MIG process)For oxy-acetylene (gas), GTAW (TIG) and MTAW (MIG) welding processes,examination metal thickness of sheets is 1.6mm thick (this will include material of0.063 inch thickness). http://www.casa.gov.au/wcmswr/_asset...worth/33_1.pdfDave J.Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance. ~George Bernard Shaw~ Syncro 350Invertec v250-sThermal Arc 161 and 300MM210DialarcTried being normal once, didn't take....I think it was a Tuesday.
Reply:And a college welding course in Texas:The program includes entry-levelskills in stick (SMAW), oxy-acetylene (GAS), gas shield arc (GTAW andMTAW) and flux-cored arc (FCAW) welding. There is a $200 supplyfee per class and a one-time investment of approximately $150 forpersonal equipment.
Reply:Ok, then I think they must mean mig weld. I quoted the job as tig weld so I am good to go.

Reply:I think there's a sticky on of these forums... MIG like TIG arc welding. They also use the term MAG welding overseas for Metal active gas (Co2 shielded)
