MIG welding practice

MIG welding is an arc welding process in which a continuous solid wire electrode is fed through a welding gun and into the weld pool, joining the two base materials together. A shielding gas is also sent through the welding gun and protects the weld pool from contamination. 

Using the MIG welder does require you do go through a bit of a learning curve.  It takes time to adjust to how fast wire comes out of the nozzle, than adjusting your movement speed accordingly. 

There is also an adjustment to how much voltage runs through the wire. This is adjusted on how thick the metal is that you are welding.

Me and my partner practiced by cutting out pieces and welding them onto different holes to practice for when we are repairing the body of the car. Throughout these classes we are slowly getting better and I feel we will get the hang of it be the end of this week.
