them with an arc established between a continuous filler metal (consumable) electrode and the work" (Gas Metal Arc Welding, 2008). A gas or gas mixture that is supplied externally
is responsible for obtaining the arc shielding and molten weld pool (Gas Metal Arc Welding, 2008). GMAW or MIG welding can be operated in semiautomatic (or manual), machine, and
automatic modes (Gas Metal Arc Welding, 2008). Most commonly used by companies that are involved in high-end production welding, commercially used metals - including carbon and stainless steel, copper,
and aluminum - can be welded by utilizing the GMAW process (Gas Metal Arc Welding, 2008). This is achieved by the selection of the proper "shielding gas, electrode, and
welding conditions" (Gas Metal Arc Welding, 2008). History and Evolution of Gas Metal Arc Welding The process of welding with consumable electrodes with an external supply of carbon dioxide
gas dates back to 1953 and is attributed to the relatively unknown European scientists Lyubavskii and Novoshilov (History of Welding, 2006). This process of welding quickly became popular because
of its applications for steel welding (History of Welding, 2006). Further refinement of the process resulted from electrode wires that were smaller in diameter and streamlining the required power
supplies (History of Welding, 2006). A special electrode wire, which Bernard invented in 1954, was patented three years later (History of Welding, 2006). Also in 1957, Robert F.
Gage invented what is known as plasma arc welding, in which a constricted arc is used to create an arc plasma that registers a higher temperature than the traditional tungsten
arc (History of Welding, 2006). Plasma arc welding can also be employed for cutting and metal spraying (History of Welding, 2006). The Europeans led the way in the evolution
