Buying advice

For AC welding (e.g., aluminum), choose pure tungsten or lanthanated/ceriated for better performance. For DC welding (e.g., steel), thoriated or lanthanated are great. Consider safety: thoriated is radioactive, so lanthanated or ceriated are safer alternatives. Also, diameter selection depends on material thickness; 3/32" is a common all-around size.
