Default I want to buy a solid piece of pure tungsten, 3 to 15 lbs.

Cool, thanks for the info!

Tungsten is Metal. Fibrous metal. Used in Light bulbs (not the flicker
type)
and places where high pressure temperature is used.

TIG is Tungsten Inert Gas. A welding term where one supplies a very hot
point
with aid of a Tungsten rod and it melts the base metal while flooding with
an Inert gas as you add the filler metal. Most metals can be TIG'd. Not
all
since some explode on exposure to air.

So what are Tig pure tungsten sticks do for you ?
That might be a source.

Uh, huh? I don't know what tungsten is, but I don't know what Tig pure
sticks are.
