Video: 4 Types of Welding Explained: MIG vs TIG vs Stick vs Flux Core

The 1,000 foot view of the most common welding processes.

All of the different welding processes and acronyms can be really confusing. In this video, I go over the following:

0:00 Intro

0:40 Stick Welding (Shielded Metal Arc Welding - SMAW)

4:00 Flux Core Arc Welding - FCAW

5:58 MIG Welding (Gas Metal Arc Welding - GMAW)

7:45 TIG Welding (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding - GTAW)
