Abstract
When a bare-wire consumable electrode fed from a reel is used with a chemically inert gas such as argon or helium, the process is called M.I.G. (metal—inert-gas). If chemically active gases like carbon dioxide, hydrogen, nitrogen or oxygen are used, the process is called M.A.G. (metal—active-gas).
