Welding is often the final step that brings machined and formed parts together into a finished assembly. At MECHteam, we offer both precision MIG and TIG welding for aluminium, steel, and stainless steel — but knowing which process to specify can make a real difference in quality, cost, and lead time.
Precision MIG Welding
MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding uses a continuously fed wire electrode and shielding gas. It is faster than TIG and well-suited for:
MIG welding is the workhorse of metal fabrication — efficient, reliable, and cost-effective for most structural applications.
Precision TIG Welding
TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding offers superior control and produces the cleanest, most precise welds. It is the preferred choice for:
TIG welding is slower but delivers unmatched precision and aesthetics — essential for high-end assemblies and products where the weld is visible.
Our Recommendation
For most structural and production work, MIG welding provides the best balance of speed and strength. When appearance, thin-wall integrity, or material sensitivity is paramount, TIG is the way to go. Many projects benefit from a combination of both.
