A cutting-edge technique
Semi-automatic welding, also known as MIG (Metal Inert Gas) or MAG (Metal Active Gas), is a widely used method for welding different types of metals, including steel. At CIMESAC, we carry out:
- MIG – MAG welding
- TIG welding
- Brazing - Silver brazing
Welding alternatives
In addition to MIG/MAG welding, other welding processes are also widely used in Belgium. Shielded arc welding, also known as MMA or stick welding, is commonly used for on-site welding applications and repair work.
TIG welding, which uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode and an inert shielding gas, is often preferred for applications requiring high precision and high-quality welds on thin or sensitive materials.

FAQ
What are the benefits of welding?
Welding creates strong, durable joints between metal parts, which is essential in many industrial fields, from construction to automotive engineering.
This semi-automatic welding technique involves the use of a specialized welding machine, equipped with a cored wire that feeds the filler metal into the welding zone. Shielding gas, usually CO2 or a mixture of inert and active gases, is also used to protect the weld pool from atmospheric contaminants and ensure clean, high-quality welds.
One of the key advantages of MIG/MAG welding is its ease of use and high productivity. CIMESAC workers can easily adjust the welding intensity and control the wire feed speed, resulting in uniform, high-quality welds with minimal effort. Additionally, our MIG/MAG welders are often equipped with advanced features such as arc monitoring and gas management, ensuring reliable and consistent performance.
What are the most commonly welded materials?
The most commonly welded materials include steel, aluminum, stainless steel, copper, and brass, although welding can be used for a wide variety of metals and alloys.
What is the difference between TIG welding and MIG welding?
TIG welding uses an electric arc between a non-consumable tungsten electrode and the workpieces to be welded, while MIG welding uses a continuous filler wire and shielding gas to create the electric arc.
