Metal inert gas (MIG) [[Weld|welding]] uses a consumable wire electrode and shielding gas, which is continuously fed through a welding gun. Aluminum requires some specific changes for welders who are accustomed to welding steel. It's a much softer metal so the feed wire must be larger. Aluminum is also a better conductor of heat, so welding aluminum requires more control over the power supply and the feed rate of the electrode. | Metal inert gas (MIG) [[Weld|welding]] uses a consumable wire electrode and shielding gas, which is continuously fed through a welding gun.
