MIG, TIG, STICK, and Robotic MIG Welding

As a provider of an array of arc and resistance welding services, McLaughlin Body offers three main service areas: contract, production, and small parts. Our processes are intended for a range of applications, including off-highway heavy truck cabs, crane cabs, and heavy equipment cabs, and we work with several industries, including the medial and marine sectors. Because we work with sensitive applications, we adhere to mil-spec, AWS, and other industry standards. Our Welding processes include:
  • Flux core arc welding;
  • Gas metal arc welding (MIG);
  • Gas tungsten arc welding (TIG);
  • Resistance welding;
  • Shielded metal arc welding (Stick)
  • Spot welding; and Resistance Welding
  • Projection
McLaughlin Body is happy to work with a variety of common metals, exotic metals, plastic, and more. Additionally, we offer engineering, R&D, and assembly services. To find out more about McLaughlin Body, contact us directly.

Arc/Resistance Welding Process

FCAW (Flux Core Arc Welding):
This process uses similar equipment as GMAW but in place of standard solid wire uses wire consisting of a steel electrode surrounding a powder fill material.

GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding):
Also known as metal inert gas or MIG welding.

GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding):
Also known as Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding. This process uses a nonconsumable tungsten electrode, an inert gas and a separate filler material. This process is sometimes mistakenly referred to as Heliarc welding.

MIG:
Metal Inert Gas welding, also referred to as Gas Metal Arc Welding.

Resistance:
Resistance welding is a process where heat is generated by passing current through the resistance caused by the contact between two or more metal surfaces to be joined.

SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding):
Also known as Manual Metal Arc Welding or Stick welding. This process uses a consumable electrode rod, which as the filler material, that is covered in flux that protects the weld area from oxidation and contamination.

Spot:
Spot welding is form of resistance welding used to join overlapping metal sheets. Two electrodes are used to clamp the sheets together and pass the current between them.

TIG:
Tungsten Inert Gas welding. Also referred to as Gas Tungsten Arc Welding.
