What is TIG or MIG welding? These are arc welding processes using a non-fusible electrode. The difference between these two processes is that MIG welding is faster. TIG welding is slower, but gives a more robust, precise and aesthetic result.

What is MMA welding? It's a coated-electrode arc welding technique. It's the most widely used technique in the welding world!
