AC, DC, whatever your poison, this tungsten has you covered. I've probably used 40 sticks of it over the past couple years and I'm always disappointed when I run out and have to jump back to thoiated or lanthanated. Holds a point really well, is more tolerant of short post flow without really bad oxidation, never splits or cracks. Try it. You won't go back.

Out of all the Tri Mix/Hybrid type of tungstens…
Out of all the Tri Mix/Hybrid type of tungstens out there, these are some really good ones. I haven't tried the CK Layzr ones yet so I'm not sure how they would compare. But as for these i really like them. The DC arc is really nice and crisp, but on DC what electrode isn't... AC is where you really look for differences. My go to electrode is a CK 2% Lanthanated. I have to say that these ArcTime ones are right on par with the 2% Lanthanated for sure. I've only been using these for a little while now so i can't really give a long term review. As for a short term review though, I can say these are going to be great. If your thinking about buying some....do it.
