Introduction to MIG Welding Techniques
●MIG welding has two primary techniques: 
Push and Pull. Each offers unique benefits and 
is suited for specific applications. Choosing the 
right method depends on material thickness, 
weld appearance, and project needs.
Push Technique
●- The welding gun is pushed away from the 
weld pool.
●- Produces a flatter, wider weld.
●- Provides better visibility of the weld pool.
●- Ideal for thin materials and aesthetic welds.
Pull Technique
●- The welding gun is pulled toward the weld pool.
●- Delivers deeper penetration and narrower beads.
●- Best for thicker materials and structural welds.
●- Ensures robust results for heavy-duty applications.
Choosing the Right Technique
●The decision between Push and Pull techniques depends on:
●- Material thickness
●- Desired weld appearance
●- Specific project requirements
●Practicing both techniques enhances flexibility and 
expertise.
