You mean they make more tungstens other than 2% lanthanated?

I've observed that inverters seem to do a better job with lanthanated tungsten. I have to say that what brought me to this conclusion was welding aluminum on AC and trying every color under the sun. The difference in performance seems to be more noticeable on AC rather than DC.
For me it basically came down to which one held a pencil tip better and longer. Hands down, the winner was 2% lanthanated.
