MIG Welding: Lab Report ME-223 Advance Workshop Practice

This lab report summarizes Momina Shakeel's MIG welding experiment. The report describes the MIG welding process, the equipment used including the welding plant, gas cylinder, welding torch, safety gear, and spool. It also lists the tools used like the work clamp. The objective was to understand the MIG welding process and compare it to other techniques. MIG welding provides higher productivity than other welding methods due to its automatic electrode feeding system.

MIG Welding
Description:
MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding is a technique in which a consumable wire
electrode is fed continuously at target area through the welding gun along with
a shielding or non oxidizing gas i.e. carbon dioxide. The metal electrode is
made up of the same material as the base metals. The electrode not only acts
as the filler but is also responsible for arc generation while the shielding gas
protects the weld pool from oxidation and contaminants thereby .

Equipment/Instrument used with purpose:


Welding plant: It is used to control and regulate heat generation, voltage and
amperage during welding.

CO2 gas cylinder: supplies shielding gas i.e. CO2 to the welding torch which
acts as a reducing agent. It is fitted with a regulator to control pressure of
supplied gas.

Welding Gun/Torch: It is connected to the plant and gas cylinder, supplies


shielding gas and welding electrode to the job.

Safety Equipment: Personal protective equipment such as apron, gloves and


face shield were used for safety against welding sparks and heat.

Spool: the welding electrode is wound around the spool and is supplied to the
welding gun.
Tools used with purpose:
Work Clamp: Work clamp or ground clamp is used to complete the electrical
connection between plant and work piece.

Learning Objectives
The objective of this practical was to understand the MIG welding process and
the comparison between MIG welding and other traditional welding
techniques. MIG welding has an automatic electrode feeding system due to
which higher productive efficiency is achieved as it is easier to handle. By
maintaining a safe distance of 20 mm between the welding gun and job, the
wire electrode is consistently supplied with a specific diameter and preset
speed. In other welding processes such as arc and gas welding, filler electrode
has to be supplied manually and welding flux has to be introduced separately.
It is possible to achieve different types of joints through MIG Welding.
However, the finish quality is rough in comparison to TIG welding.
