Master the most essential technique in motorsport fabrication.
MIG welding is an essential welding technique that you’ll need to learn if you want to get involved in the world of motorsport fabrication. When done right, the MIG process produces strong, tidy welds and can be much quicker than other processes.
Professional-level MIG welding is something you can learn to do yourself at home, and if you do, you’re going to save you huge amounts of time and money. MIG welding is a must-have skill if you are getting into any type of fabrication, especially automotive.
With the right equipment and knowledge, you can confidently work with materials like mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, producing strong, clean welds for your projects quickly and affordably. If you're new to welding or struggling to produce quality welds, the Practical MIG Welding course is going to be perfect for you. While MIG welding is often seen as “easier” than TIG, doing it well still requires proper training, solid guidance, and practice.
Choose the right welder for your needs using the buying guide.
Good welding starts before you pull the trigger, and today's MIG welders offer more control and different settings to what you might have experienced in the past. Thankfully, the buyer's guide in this course will help you choose the right machine for your needs and budget. You'll start by learning how your MIG welder works, how to dial in the settings, how to use shielding gas correctly, and how gas flow affects your welds.
Master workpiece preparation, machine settings and welding techniques.
You will learn how to properly prep your workpiece, set up your machine, and tack parts in place for the best results. You'll also learn how to set up your workspace and choose the right PPE to stay safe while welding—from torch angles to heat control. We'll teach key techniques as well as small tricks and tips that separate clean, strong, quality welds from messy ones. Plus, we’ll show you how to test your welds for strength and penetration.
Learn a 6-step MIG welding process.
Once you've mastered the theory and hands-on techniques, you'll be able to follow a proven six-step welding process, which is easy to repeat and perfect for any welding job. You’ll also be able to see this process in action through a library of real-world examples using different parts and materials, with more being added all the time.
