                            - TIG welding electrodes usually contain small quantities of metallic oxides which can offer the following benefits: -Facilitate arc starting -Increase arc stability -Improve current carrying capacity of the electrode -Reduce the risk of weld contamination -Increase electrode life
 - Oxides used are primarily zirconium, thorium, lanthanum or cerium
 - Additions are 1% - 4%, improve arc initiation, especially when direct current (DC) welding is employed
 - Thorium oxide (thoria), effective in terms of long life and thermal efficiency
 - Zirconium oxide (zirconia) has been commonly used for alternating (AC) TIG welding, welding aluminum
