Mig welding is easy to learn and can be used for welding mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum. Mig welder can weld very thin metal such as auto-body and metal are also thicker than 1 inch thick. As a mig welder using wire feed system you have excellent control of the process through the use of mig guns or handpiece.

It will be able to weld some 1/4 thick steel up to 1/2 inches. The second option is to learn to weld with stick welding machine. Although it is rapidly being replaced by machines mig they still have their uses. Mainly used for welding mild steel, also good for stainless steel and cast iron repair. It's harder to master than a mig welder for a long electrode. Not good for the welding of thin metal with the best size of about 1/8 inch and up.

This is a good method to learn to weld because you are given the experience in the fusion process. The last option is Tig welding. Perhaps the most difficult to learn to weld.
