The
Lantanated Tungsten Rods become very popular in the circle of welding world because of its good welding performance. The electric conductivity of lantanated tungsten is more closed of 2%. Thoriated tungsten, welders can easily replace thoriated tungsten electrodes with lantanated electrodes at either AC or DC and not have to made any welding program changes. The radioactivity, from thoriated tungsten can thus be avoided. Another advantage of lantanated tungsten is being able to bear high current having the lowest burn-loss rate.
