They are used to fill gaps between two pieces of metal by depositing filler wire into them.</p> <p>To join metal pieces, welders work with MIG/MAG. As the pieces are clamped together, the wire is inserted into the gun of a welding machine. This should be followed by a constant feed and trigger action. This will maintain a consistent weld line along the joint.</p> <p>The welder has control over how much heat is applied to each area by using a regulator available in the welding machine.</p>
