<![CDATA[One of the businesses that are mushrooming in the community in the city and Pekalongan district is the welding workshop business. The market segment for the welding workshop business is the same, namely products used in the housing sector, such as fences, door trellises, stairs and others. Welding in this welding workshop business group mostly uses SMAW welding. SMAW welding is a metal joining process that uses heat energy to melt the workpiece and electrode (filler material). Heat energy in the SMAW welding process is generated due to the jump of ions (cathode and anode) of electricity that occurs at the tip of the electrode and the surface of the material. In the SMAW welding process, the type of protection used is a flux membrane found on the electrode. The flux on the SMAW electrode functions to protect the melted weld metal during the welding process. This flux will become slag when it is solid. The parent metal in this welding experiences melting due to heating from the electric arc that occurs between the tip of the electrode and the surface of the workpiece which results in poor welding results or product defects. The purpose of this community service is to help UMKM welding workshops to improve the quality of welding products by introducing and providing education related to the use of MIG and MAG welding tools. This MIG-MAG welding tool has several advantages compared to SMAW welding, including: the flow of argon gas or CO2 gas in GMAW welding makes the welds not oxidized by outside air, the welds are stronger due to deep weld penetration and higher corrosion resistance, the heat center is very small to minimize the occurrence of burn through defects or perforated welds. The output target produced from this solution is to introduce another welding method, namely MIG-MAG welding, by conducting training on the use of MIG-MAG welding and providing assistance for monitoring the skills of welding workers.]]>
