So a 2% Ceriated electrode would be the best choice for a general pupose rod for an inverter tig machine?

i was told to try lanthanated tungsten as you can use it for dc and ac tig welding

Good info.
I am no expert, but for the last fifteen years, I have only used 2% Ceriated tungsten for everything. I don’t know how this effects the welds, but the tips do ball up when I am welding aluminum

the different tungsten do infact effect the weld in some cases but in most you can get away with the ceriated alot.

Thank you for the chart Junes. Do you know if there is a rule-of-thumb or a chart that matches amperages with material thicknesses?
