Mig Welding
Mig welding is a process used to fuse metal pieces together using electricity and a filler rod containing the melted metal. It is also known as Gas Metal Arc Welding or Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW).
Mig welding is a fairly common procedure. A Mig welder operates by sending electricity through a small wire that then heats up to the point where it can melt two pieces of metal together. On some welders this power source has been replaced with an arc, which generates the same type of heat as a mig.
Welding can be a difficult and time-consuming process, but it’s necessary for many jobs.
Mig welding is the most common type of welding in the industry today, but it can be tricky to master. It takes a lot of practice to get good at this technique and even more patience when you’re learning how to weld with an arc welder.

Tig Welding
Tig welding machines are used to fill gaps in the metal where other types of welding do not work well. These machines are highly versatile and can be used on a variety of materials, including aluminium. The machine’s filler wire acts as the torch to melt two pieces of metal together using an arc or another form of heating element. Tig welding is often considered more precise than traditional methods like MIG (Metal-Inert Gas) welding.
BLV Engineering specialises in all things tig welding; including project design and machine selection. Our customers know that if they want top-notch equipment, expert knowledge and experienced team members to handle their project, there’s no better place for them than BLV Engineering.
Spot Welding
Spot welding is the process of connecting metal pieces together by applying high pressure to a spot on one piece. Spot welding differs from MIG and TIG in that it is not electrically driven; instead, it uses hydraulics.
Spot welders can be helpful for when an item must be welded in a tight space or when there are many intricate obstructions like wires or rivets. The coaxial impact hammer drives down with enough force to fuse two materials together, but unlike other kinds of welding, the process is smaller and less noticeable in its application.
A typical machine will use compressed air to direct arcing onto two materials at high speeds (obtaining temperatures up to 5000°F). Once this has occurred, the hammer hits down on two materials in a way that the surfaces are forced together. To have an efficient welding process, it is important to select the appropriate weld bead type for your project.
How can you tell if you need Mig welding or TIG? What do the different types of welding look like when they’re completed? When should you consider spot welding? The good news is, the friendly team at BLV Engineering are happy to answer all these questions for you and ensure your project turns out exactly as you need it.
