You need a grinding wheel that is specifically made for grinding tungsten. A regular grinding wheel will not only wear out if it's used for tungsten, but will contaminate the tungsten if it was used to grind steel first.

thoriated :P

can you use any of these to weld aluminum and steel?

You use a normal bench grinder to sharpen them, you would be there for hours with sandpaper. A quick Google or youtube search will show you how to grind one correctly.
I have always thought the ceriated were crap for aluminium, even though they are recommended for it by they manufacturer, I just use the thoriated.
I must get myself a packet of the lanthanated, they look pretty good.
