tig welding, is alot stronger alot cleaner and needs to be backpurged during the process. Mig is not as clean, is easier and doesn't need to be backpurged. See our website listed in my sig for examples of good tig welding and good tech articles on welding

backpurging is the process of replacing normal air with an intert gas on the backside of the weld for consitency etc.

Aluminium can also be done with Tig and Mig, if the right equipment is used.

I would reccommend hitting a bookstore... they have some really good "welding for dummies" style books...

you will get most of your questions answered in the first few pages...

Also, check out Miller's site and click on the Education link in the navagation bar at the top. You can learn a lot by reading through their library of info.... grant it, it is biased to their equipment but you can still learn a lot of the welding basics and differences http://www.millerwelds.com/
