Development of TIG MIG Hybrid Welding Process: A Brief Review

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to review the TIG MIG hybrid welding process, which benefits from the advantages of conventional MIG welding and TIG welding. The review focuses more on the studies related to the concepts of each welding process, its advantages and disadvantages, and some applications in the industry. The TIG MIG hybrid welding is a new method that is less popular than the conventional welding process. Thus, fewer experimental studies have been conducted on the process. Since the TIG MIG hybrid welding is promising a better welding process and is potent to improve the welding process with a combination of advantages of both conventional MIG and TIG welding, hence more work needs to be done on the TIG MIG hybrid welding research study to provide more valuable information that is lacking so that it could be applied to the industry.
