MIG and TIG Welding: Unraveling the Secret Techniques of Commercial Metal Fabrication

Welding, an integral process in commercial metal fabrication, has come a long way since its inception. With many methods available today, MIG (Metal Inert Gas) and TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding stand out for their versatility and efficiency, making them popular in manufacturing industries.

In this blog post, we will look closer at MIG and TIG welding techniques used by commercial steel fabrication companies and why metal fabrication professionals in Orange County, CA, and beyond prefer these methods.

MIG vs. TIG: What's the Difference?

Let's first differentiate the two and understand why they're so popular in commercial metal fabrication.

MIG Welding

Also known as Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW)

Utilizes a consumable electrode wire and an inert shielding gas

The electrode wire is continuously fed through a welding gun

Suitable for a wide range of metal types and thicknesses

Metal fabrication companies near you commonly use MIG welding, and have earned a reputation for being a fast and efficient solution for joining metal pieces. Cresco Manufacturing's primary advantage is its adaptability to various metals, making it a top choice for custom metal cutting services.

TIG Welding

Also known as Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW)

Employs a non-consumable tungsten electrode and an inert shielding gas

It requires higher precision and more skill from the welder

Produces exceptionally clean and high-quality welds

TIG welding is favored in more specialized metal fabrication projects, such as welding thinner metals or more complex joints. The resultant welds often have better strength and durability, making TIG welding a preferred process in critical applications such as aerospace or automotive components.

Why Choose MIG and TIG Welding for Your Commercial Metal Fabrication Needs?

Now that we've listed the key characteristics of MIG and TIG welding let's explore some reasons why these methods find widespread usage in commercial steel fabrication:

Efficiency: MIG welding offers speed and efficiency that few other welding methods can match. Due to the constant wire feed, MIG welding minimizes downtime and increases productivity.

Versatility: As mentioned earlier, both MIG and TIG welding can accommodate a wide range of metals and projects, making them practical choices in diverse industries.

Quality: TIG welding, in particular, produces high-quality welds that are aesthetically pleasing, strong, and reliable. High quality is crucial in custom metal cutting and high-precision projects.

Cost-effectiveness: Thanks to the efficiency and versatility of these techniques, MIG and TIG welding can contribute to cost savings in the long run.

Weiler Abrasives Employees Celebrate 75th Anniversary

Weiler Abrasives, a leading provider of abrasives, power brushes and maintenance products for surface conditioning kicked off what will be a months-long celebration of its 75th anniversary with its National Sales Meeting the week of April 22. The celebration is geared toward thanking its customers, coworkers and community for contributing to the growth and longevity of the company — once a small jewelry polishing brush business and today a global abrasives leader.

Founded by Karl E. Weiler in 1944 as the Weiler Brush Company in Long Island — with only fifty dollars and a big dream — the company continues to be privately-owned and operated at its current headquarters in Cresco, Pa. under the fourth-generation leadership of Chris Weiler, CEO. Chris’ father, Karl M. Weiler serves as chairman.

The company now has 1300 employees across eight different countries and still stands by its key values: integrity, customer focus, accountability, learning and competence, and passion.

“We are proud of the growth Weiler Abrasives has undergone in its 75 years in business and the innovation it brings to the global marketplace,” says Chris Weiler, president and CEO Weiler Abrasives. “We also recognize that it’s the hard work of our more than 300 local employees and the support of our Poconos community that have served as the backbone of our success.”

“Weiler has been like a rocket ship. We’ve always gone forward, always gone upwards. There’s no standing still here, no going back. I think as co-workers, we’ve all gone along for the ride – and what a ride it’s been,” said Jim Gilpin, a current Weiler Abrasives employee hired in 1973.

Weiler Abrasives’ commitment to manufacturing excellence ensures the delivery of high-performance, quality products and innovative solutions. At the foundation of its success is a commitment to collaborating with its customers and fostering mutual growth. The company has made a top priority of developing long-term partnerships, while also addressing customers’ toughest cleaning, grinding, cutting, de-burring and finishing challenges. In fact, after 75 years Weiler Abrasives still does business with its very first customer.

To continue the anniversary celebration throughout the year, Weiler Abrasives will host employee activities, including a family Fall Harvest Celebration in October at its headquarters, as well as several community engagement activities.

Weiler Abrasives, an employer of more than 300 local employees and the leading provider of abrasives, power brushes and maintenance products for surface conditioning, kicked off what will be a months-long celebration of its 75th anniversary this spring. The celebration is geared toward thanking its customers, coworkers and community for contributing to the growth and longevity of the company.
