What is hazardous about Lanthanated?

Don,
Yes, they work very well, but they are no longer available in Europe. They
are considered too dangerous (Hazmat) and are now illegal.

I finally got around to trying the 2% lanthanated tungstens.

They rock! Excellent arc stability and shape retention with DCSP.
A filet weld of thick to thin was easy peasy, puddle control was about
a nobrainer because the arc went exactly where I aimed it.

YMMV.
