what is better mig welding or tig welding?

Question

i was just wonderin what one is better and how much you make with each one

Answer 1

For certain type of work TIG is required, like welding chrome moly for some racing organizations. Intricate work, like gunsmithing is also well suited to TIG. TIG is used by many auto restorers who prefer a more precise, perfect finish that requires little to no finish work. TIG is most similar to gas welding in technique, so if you've done oxy-fuel welding, TIG should be a natural transition.

If you are looking to weld professionally Start with Mig and Tig then is a much easier task to perform

MIG is required by law and by insurance companies in many localities for structural repair of automotive frames. MIG is also much easier to learn and faster to weld. For doing other types of welding, like sheet metal, it can be a matter of personal preference. For an auto body repair shop or a novice welder, a MIG is a good, practical all-around welder.

Answer 2

It depends on the material type. MIG welding provides a bond by the inclusion of filler metal incorporated with the melting of the base metal. The pooling of these molten metals and their subsequent cooling forms the bond.

TIG is more about generating heat and less about filler metal. It is more commonly used for aluminum and nickel-based materials (for example) like stainless steel. Finer weld beads are possible using TIG.
