Last time I bought abox of 0.020 inch rods price was about $12 for
10 rods. 6 inches long. As someone has pointed out they are
brittle unless properly warmed.

I would think that bulk wire purchased from smallparts would't have
this problem (but I could be wrong).

The bulk wire is just as brittle has the Tig electrodes :0

I still find it pretty amazing that a material with such a high melting point,
has a Brittle to Ductile transition temperature starting as low as 100C.

Take Care,
