You can also use brass, which is remarkably durable. Maxwell, or the
company formerly known as Maxwell, uses brass in all their high current
gaps. At least, they did 20 years ago.
Copper-tungsten alloy works very well, too--in a mix of 15% Cu to 85% W it
is very robust and machines very freely.

Greg,
I noted your RSG uses stainless steel electrodes. I vaguely remember, and
other list members can correct or amplify this, that stainless steel vapor
is toxic, and you really should use Tungsten for your electrodes. See for
example http://www.ehow.com/list_7463537_stainless-welding-hazards.html
