What Does WIG Stand For?

WIG stands for W Inert Gas Welding

WIG, or W Inert Gas Welding, is a specialized welding process that utilizes inert gas to shield the welding area from atmospheric contamination. This technique enhances the quality of the weld by preventing oxidation and other reactions that can compromise the integrity of the welded materials. WIG is commonly employed in industries requiring high precision and clean welds, such as aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing, particularly for non-ferrous metals like aluminum and titanium.
