Another name for wire welding is what?

  1. GMAW

  2. MIG welding

  3. SMAW

  4. TIG welding

The correct answer is: GMAW

Another name for wire welding is GMAW, which stands for Gas Metal Arc Welding. In this process, a wire electrode is fed through a welding gun and melted to create the weld. This process is also commonly known as MIG welding, which stands for Metal Inert Gas welding. While SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding) and TIG welding (Tungsten Inert Gas welding) are different welding processes that do not involve using a wire electrode like GMAW.
