The lanthanated tungsten became very popular in the circle of welding word , because of its good welding performance.

The electric conductivity of Lanthansted Tungsten is most closed to than of 2%Thoriated Tungsrten, Welders can easily replace Thoriated Tungsten Electrode with Lanthanated tungsten Electrode at either AC or DC and not have to make any welding program change .

The redionactivety from Thoriated Tungsten can thus be avoided and another advantage of Lanthanated Tungsten is being able to bear current and having the lowest burn –loss rate .
