Anyone tried this tungsten supposedly it is long life and environmentally friendly.
I saw this at Airgas, and the brochure looked pretty good, so I picked up a 2-pack of 3/32.
I wanted to find a better choice for higher amp AC than 1.5% lanthanated, but these did not do as well as my Gold sticks .
Tapered tips blow off right away on AC, and don't ball over either. I looked closer at their ad, and now see that their claim for substantially longer life is on DC, they are not for AC. I have not tried them any further.
Their environmental impact is tangeable, they take up precious space in my tungsten kit, and they clear-cut my cash for that day.
But, their brochure looks pretty.

Thanks for the heads up. Since I can't weld with the brochure, I think I'll pass.
Thanks for the info, Thats what i wanted to know , I saw some of these in my daughters stuff she sells and thought i would check before i tried them. Looks like they are only for DC.
I'm surprised you haven't figured out how to do that yet, if anybody can do it, you can. :DQuote:
