Each welding process has its advantages and shortcomings; it depends on the purpose of the welding. If you are doing garden furniture repairs, you can weigh your options and choose the best welding process that works for you. MIG is cheaper than TIG welding process. Below is a comparison of TIG welding against MIG welding process.
TIG Welding
When you use TIG welding services, you will have neatly welded furniture. TIG welding uses Tungsten gas as the source of the electricity current. Therefore, the welding process produces less smoke and sparks. At the end of the process, you will have neat welds.
Secondly, TIG has less contaminant as compared to MIG. In this regard, you will have highly quality welds because TIG welding has less contamination as compared to MIG. Therefore, when you want to do garden furniture repairs you can use TIG and get quality results. It is worth noting that you do not need to use filler material when doing TIG welding. TIG welding is mostly used to weld thinner materials.
Nonetheless, despite the various advantages of using TIG welding services, TIG welding is complicated, and it is not easy to use, and, therefore it requires advanced skills in welding. In addition, it is expensive and time consuming.
MIG Welding
Essentially, you can use MIG welding services if you want to produce quick welds. MIG is suitable for large scale welding because you will move at a faster pace when you use MIG welding as opposed to TIG welding. In addition, MIG is easy to use, and it takes less time to set it up.
Secondly, the MIG welding is cheaper, as compared to the TIG welding. The MIG equipment is easily accessible. It is important to note that in order to obtain smoother results, you can use angle grinder to smoothen the surface.
However, MIG welding is not as reliable as TIG welding because it can produce irregular wire feedback. Furthermore, if you choose to use MIG welding to do your garden furniture repairs, you have to contend with the smoke and sparks produced during the welding process.
