Mig Welder

A MIG welder is a skilled trade worker who focuses on metal projects. It’s their responsibility to measure, cut, and assemble various metal projects by utilizing an electric arc and inert gas. This technique is what differentiates them from other types of professional welders.

A MIG welder will complete a variety of tasks in pursuit of their overall goal of creating functional metal projects that meet a client’s specifications. They’ll have to select the right material before beginning. Then, they’ll determine the right gas ratios, prepare metal surfaces, and inspect the strength of their welds in the post-production process.

Someone who wants to become a MIG welder needs to have completed some formal training in the field. They can do this by completing an apprenticeship under an established MIG welder or by completing some other form of vocational training.
