Appendix B | STT WAVE SHAPING PRINCIPLES |
B.1 APPENDIX OVERVIEW
This appendix provides a series of discussions on STT wave shaping principles and the development of custom STT waveforms. The contents of this appendix are arranged as follows:
Paragraph No./Title | Contents Description | |
B.2 | STT Overview | How the STT waveform transfers weld droplets to the |
|
| weld surface |
B.3 | STT (Surface Tension Transfer) | How WFS and wave shape parameters effect welding |
B.4 | STT Wave Design Process | Flowchart and step by step descriptions of the STT |
|
| wave design process |
B.5 | Primary STT Waveform | How peak current, background current, and tailout |
| Components | speed effect weld droplet transfer |
B.6 | Secondary STT Waveform | How pinch start, pinch/peak, peak time, and dV/dt |
| Components | detect effect weld droplet transfer |
B.7 | Application Exercise | Sample development of an STT welding program using |
|
| Wave Designer. |
