GasMetal
GasMetal is a term that can refer to several things, primarily related to welding processes and the materials involved. In the context of welding, GasMetal often refers to Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), also commonly known as MIG welding (Metal Inert Gas). This is a semi-automatic or automatic arc welding process that joins metal by using a continuous solid wire electrode that is fed through a welding gun. An externally supplied shielding gas is used to protect the molten weld pool from contamination. The shielding gas can be a pure inert gas like argon or helium, or a mixture of gases that may include carbon dioxide.
The term GasMetal can also refer to the consumable wire electrode itself, which is typically a metal
Furthermore, the shielding gas used in GMAW is integral to the GasMetal process. The choice of shielding
