GMAW-STT™
Waveform Control Technology™ maximizes the
ability to modify the arc for the perfect weld. When
STT™ welding, the parameters to control are:
• Wire Feed Speed - sets the deposition rate.
• Peak Current - controls the arc length.
• Background Current - regulates the bead contour.
• Tail-out - provides additional power in the arc.
There is no Voltage control
when STT™ welding.

DESCRIPTION
Peak Current acts similar to an
arc
pinch
control. Peak Current
sets the arc length
and
promotes
-
good fusion.
Higher
peak
current levels will cause
the arc to broaden
momentarily
while increasing arc length. If
set too high, globular transfer
may occur.
Setting it too low
may cause instability
and
wire
stubbing.
Best
practice is to
adjust for minimum spatter and
puddle
agitation.
Background Current controls
the
overall
heat input in the
weld.
Tail out provides additional
power
without the molten
droplet becoming
too large.
Increase as necessary to add
heat input without increasing
arc length.
Often this results in
faster travel speeds.
Note that
as tail out increases, the peak
current
to be reduced.

REFLOW TIME

RUN-IN WFS:
Off, 30 to150 in/min.
Start Procedure
FUNCTION
Adjusts the time that shielding
gas
flows
after
the trigger
is
pulled and
prior to feeding wire.
Run-in sets the wire feed
speed from the time the trigger
is pulled until an arc is estab-
lished.
The Start Procedure is not
commonly used with STT
procedures.

Postflow Time:
0 to 25.0 seconds
FUNCTION
Adjusts the time that shielding
gas flows after the welding out-
put turns off.

Burnback: 0 to .25
Seconds
The burnback time is the
amount of time that the weld
output continues after the wire
stops feeding. It prevents the
wire from sticking in the puddle
and prepares the end of the
wire for the next arc start.
Crater Procedure
Crater is not commonly used
in STT weld procedures.
Spot Timer
0 to 120.0 Seconds
Adjust the time welding will
continue even if the trigger
is still pulled. This option
has no effect in 4-Step
Trigger Mode.
