ADVANTAGES:
- Easier welding of spaced couplings
- Less power required compared to the short arc
- Easier operations compared to the TIG
- Double operating speed compared to the TIG
- No ceramic support required
- Decreased deformation of material
- Reduced operating costs
The characteristic waveform of the ROOT-MIG infers less transfer of power compared to the traditional short arc, making it much easier to fill the gaps between pieces and creating a faultless seam at the base of the coupling.

A first pass with endless advantages
The result is very clear between the first pass in TIG and the first pass in ROOT MIG: double the productivity with comparable quality. Endless advantages: half the processing times, no preparation of pieces with ceramic supports, easy welding typical of the MIG-MAG process.
Greater control of the weld pool for lower thermal transfer of the ROOT-MIG (Q1) compared to SHORT ARC (Q2)
