COMPARING STT TO
CONVENTIONAL PROCESSES
Advantages of STT replacing short-arc
GMAW:
• Significantly reduces lack of fusion
• Good puddle control
• Capable of producing consistent X-ray
quality welds
• Reduced training time
• Lower fume generation and spatter
• Can use various compositions of
shielding gas
• 100% CO2 (on mild steel)
Advantages of STT replacing GTAW:
• Four times faster than GTAW
• Vertical down welding
• Reduced training time
• Can use various compositions of
shielding gas
• 100% CO2 (on mild steel)
• Welds stainless, nickel alloys and mild steel
• Consistent x-ray quality welds
WHEN TO USE STT
STT is the process of choice for low heat
input welds.
STT is also ideal for:
• Open root – pipe and plate
• Thin gauge material – automotive
• Stainless steel and nickel alloy –
petrochemical utility and food industry
• Silicon bronze - automotive
• Galvanized steel
• Semiautomatic and robotic applications
UTILIZING STT ON THE STT II
Adjust WIRE FEED SPEED to:
• control the deposition rate
Adjust PEAK CURRENT to:
• control the arc length
Adjust BACKGROUND CURRENT to:
• control heat input (fine)
Adjust TAILOUT to:
• control heat input (coarse)
Adjust HOT START to:
• control the heat input at the start
of the weld.
Printed circuit boards are environmentally-
shielded using Lincoln's engineered potting
and protective frame trays.
