AC - RECTIFICATION
Rectification occurs when the electrons do not want to emit from the work piece to the electrode during the positive half cycle. These arc outages cause a loss of cleaning and instability in the welding arc. + _

Thoriated
Better arc starting, higher current carrying capacity, resistant to comtamination
Zirconiated
Has properties of both pure and thoriated with greater stability for AC welding
Ceriated
Similar properties to thoriated tungsten, gaining use as a safer alternative
