Abstract: In a method for producing tungsten-alloyed rods, a particular tungsten electrodes for tungsten inert gas welding, tungsten plasma welding, tungsten plasma fusion cutting and the like, in which pulverulent tungsten with an admixed oxide additive is compacted, sintered, mechanically worked and submitted to a recrystallization treatment, to achieve a hitherto unobtained high lanthanum integration the pulverulent tungsten is alloyed with a highly pure relaxed lanthanum oxide additive of about 1.8 to 2.2% by weight with respect to the total weight the compacting is carried out with a multiphase pressure buildup and the sintering is carried out with a multiphase temperature buildup.
