Stainless Steel MIG Welding Wire
Stainless steel welding using gas-shielded arc welding (GMAW) is commonly referred to as metal inert gas (MIG) welding. It is common in applications using robotics or in workshop operations that require continuous welding machines.MIG wires are produced in various types of spools as well as in drum packing for continuous welding. We also provides customized packing and packaging of MIG wires. Whatever the application, our Stainless Steel MIG Wires bear a stamp of authority in the industrial circle. Our wires are manufactured as per the specifications of the American Welding Society (AWS).
Features of Stainless Steel MIG Welding
During MIG welding, the welding wire is used as an electrode, and the welding wire is melted by the arc between the welding wire and the workpiece. The welding current can be greatly increased and the welding speed of the wire can be accelerated. Usually semi-automated and automated welding is used, and no slag removal is required on the surface of the weld bead after welding. The welding efficiency is much higher than TIG welding and electrode welding, which has higher welding efficiency. Because a large welding current can be obtained with a large welding current, thin-walled workpieces can be opened. It is suitable for welding medium and thick plates when using multi-layer multi-pass welding. Compared with TIG welding, all-position welding is easier. In actual production, more groups M12 and M13 are used with the shielding gas . The disadvantages of MIG welding are that the welding spatter is large, the arc is strong, the welding seam formation is easily affected by oil, rust and shielding gas, and the working conditions are relatively harsh.

Application of SS MIG Welding
Stainless steel MIG welding is widely used, mainly due to the following three points.
①The first is high efficiency. Compared with TIG welding, its current is large and its melting speed is fast. Compared with electrode arc welding, it does not require electrode replacement and slag knocking. According to statistics from manufacturers, when using MIG welding with ф1.2mm solid welding wire, the welding efficiency can reach 3 to 5 times of ф5.0 electrode. High efficiency not only shortens the construction period, but also brings down the cost. In actual use, the material cost of stainless steel MIG welding is higher than that of electrode arc welding, but considering the labor cost that is reduced due to increased efficiency, its overall cost is lower than that of electrode arc welding.
②Second, it is easy to realize automatic welding, the quality of the joint is stable, and it is less affected by human factors, which can meet the continuous production of large-scale workpieces.
③The third is a wide range of uses. The thickness of the welded plate can be as thin as 1mm, and there are basically no restrictions on the large thickness. In addition, the output can be adjusted through equipment. For example, the steel used for railway wagons is TGS345, which is a ferritic stainless steel. The plate thickness is usually 4-6mm. To reduce welding deformation and prevent coarse grains, small wire energy is required. Manual welding electrodes are usually not used. And submerged arc welding, only pulse MIG welding can be used.
At present, MIG welding is widely used in automobile manufacturing, engineering machinery, chemical equipment, mining equipment and other industries, and is increasingly replacing manual welding electrodes.
