different types of welding?
can someone tell me the difference between mig/tig and any other types of welding as im planning on doing an evening class in this to aid in my classic car restoration project, as garages charge a fortune
GMAW (gas metal arc welding) (MIG) or Wire (used on steel, aluminum, stainless, galvanized) — uses a wire as the weld filler and electrode.
SMAW (shielded metal arc welding) (Stick) Used on steel, aluminum, stainless, cast iron — Uses a stick as the electrode and weld filler
GTAW (gas tungsten arc welding) (TIG) — Steel, aluminum, stainless, titanium, galvanized, Alloys — Uses tungsten as the electrode(non consumable) and uses a filler rod as the weld filler
OxyFuel — Steel, brass, bronze, aluminum — uses a torch and a filler rod

Those that say Arc…. There are 3 types of arc welding, Tig, Mig, Stick…. And you can weld aluminum with other operations than just tig. The only metal that has to be welded TIG is titanium, and it has to be shielded the whole time so it takes some special jigs and nozzles for the gas.
As for gasses go, there are too many to list. You can get them mixed for what you want and how you want the weld to lay, freeze, and penetrate.
