Invertec STT II
Featuring the Surface Tension Transfer® (STT) Process
Control Heat Input, Spatter and Fume
The revolutionary STT II power source combines high frequency inverter technology with
advanced Waveform Control Technology™ to provide a better welding solution than
traditional short arc MIG. Unlike CV MIG machines, the STT machine has no voltage control
knob. STT uses current controls to adjust the heat independent of the wire feed speed, so
changes in electrode extension do not affect heat. Low heat input welds can be produced
without overheating or burning through, and distortion is minimized. Spatter and fumes are
reduced because the electrode is not overheated — even when welding with larger
diameter wires and 100% CO2 shielding gas.

WHAT IS NEXTWELD®?
provide the foundation for Nextweld innovations like Pulse-OnPulse™, Power Mode™, STT® and ArcLink®. Look for Nextweld
for ultimate arc control, high efficiency/reliability and seamless
system integration.

Nextweld integrates Lincoln’s technologies, processes and products to create a comprehensive, flexible,
user-friendly welding system that can increase
efficiency and reduce fabrication costs. Waveform
Control Technology™ and digital communications

Waveform Control Technology®
Driving Superior Welding Performance
Lincoln’s Waveform Control Technology controls and shapes the output waveforms
(or weld modes) to adapt to virtually any application, material or weld position. Waveform
Control Technology makes it possible to take advantage of Lincoln Nextweld innovations like
the STT Process using the STT II.
For more information see Nextweld Document NX-1.10

STT® (Surface Tension Transfer®) is a controlled
GMAW short circuit transfer process that uses
current controls to adjust the heat independent of
wire feed speed, resulting in superior arc performance, good penetration, low heat input control,
and reduced spatter and fumes.

Document NX-2.20

and .045” solid wire.

STT using CO2
and .045” solid wire.
Note reduced spatter and fume.
A. STT produces a uniform molten ball and maintains it
until the "ball' shorts to the puddle.

The STT Process

B. When the "ball" shorts to the puddle, the current is
reduced to a low level allowing the molten ball to wet
into the puddle.

C. Automatically, a precision PINCH CURRENT wave
form is applied to the short. During this time,
special circuitry determines that the short is about
to break and reduces the current to avoid the spatter
producing "explosion".
D. STT circuitry re-establishes the welding arc at a low
current level.

A

D

E

E. STT circuitry senses that the arc is re-established, and
automatically applies PEAK CURRENT, which sets the
proper arc length. Following PEAK CURRENT, internal
circuitry automatically switches to the BACKGROUND
CURRENT, which serves as a fine heat control.

USING STT FOR OPEN ROOT WELDING
Open root welding is used for pipe and single-sided plate welding in
situations that preclude welding from both sides of the material. This type
of welding is common in the petrochemical and process piping industries.

Stick welding with cellulose
electrodes provides good fusion
characteristics, but leaves deep
wagon tracks (requiring more labor
for grinding), a very convex root
weld, and a high hydrogen
deposit.

Advantages of STT Open Root
Penetration Control
• Provides reliable root pass and complete back bead. Ensures excellent
sidewall fusion.
Cost Reduction
• Uses 100% CO2, the lowest cost gas, when welding carbon steel.

Open Root Pass with Stick
Electrode

Flexibility
• Provides the capability of welding stainless steel, nickel alloys, and mild
or high strength steels without compromising weld quality.
• Capable of welding out of position.
Low Heat Input
• Reduces burnthrough and distortion.
Low Hydrogen Weld Metal Deposit
Speed
• High quality open root welds at faster travel speeds than GTAW.
Current Control Independent of Wire Feed Speed
• Allows operator to control the heat input to the weld puddle.

Open Root Pass with STT
provides a weld ligament thickness
of approximately 0.22˝.

Ease of Operator Use
• More forgiving process than conventional short arc welding with
CV machines.

• Superior weld profile
(no wagon tracks)
• Slight convexity of root weld
• Low hydrogen deposit
