MIG
(GMAW)
|
Gas Metal Arc Welding, also known as MIG (Metal Inert
Gas) welding, is a wire-feed, torch-welding process by which a consumable
wire, acting as both filler and electrode, is mechanically fed into
the weld zone with a shielding gas. |
TIG (GTAW) |
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding. A gas shielded welding method where the
heating is produced using a non-consumable tungsten electrode to transfer
the arc to the work piece. |
Stick (SMAW) |
Shielded Metal Arc Welding. Also known as stick welding. This process
uses a powder coated welding rod placed in a holder that is arced
against the base metal. |
Engine-Driven |
Large stick or multi-process welders are able
to operate independent of input power and are powered by a gasoline,
diesel, or LPG engine instead. Ideal for construction sites and places
where power is unavailable. |
Wire Feeders |
The wire feeder is device powered by a motor that pushes the wire
from the reel through the torch to the welding zone. |
Submerged Arc (SAW) |
Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) is a common arc welding process. It
requires a continuously fed consumable solid or tubular (flux cored)
electrode. The molten weld and the arc zone are protected from atmospheric
contamination by being “submerged” under a blanket of
granular fusible flux. When molten, the flux becomes conductive, and
provides a current path between the electrode and the work. |
Spot Welders |
Usually made on materials having some type of
overlapping joint design. Can refer to resistance, MIG or TIG spot
welding. Resistance spot welds are made from electrodes on both sides
of the joint, while TIG and MIG spots are made from one side only.

Plasma Cutters |
A constricted cutting arc is created by this
machine, which easily slices through metals. A high velocity jet of
ionized gas removes molten material from the application. |
Advanced Systems |
Whether you're looking at systems for a new
platform or looking to retrofit existing work cells—either for
robotic, automated or semi-automatic applications—there is an
AMS expert ready to work with you. We'll start by listening to your
immediate welding needs, then determine if a Miller / ITW solution
also improves throughput, repeatability and quality in upstream and
downstream operations. Our goal is simple: focus our welding expertise
to help you produce a quality welded component at the lowest possible
cost. |
