Abstract:
A cathode for a secondary emission structure comprised of a superconductive material is described. In one embodiment the cathode comprises a layer of a superconductive material such as yttrium barium cupric oxide, or rare earth substituted neodymium cupric oxides. The layer may be bonded to a metal electrode or preferably the cathode consist of a superconductive or conductive oxide. The use of a superconductive material provides a cathode having suitable secondary emission characteristics and, furthermore, which being conductive at room temperatures, as well as, temperatures of operation of the cathode, obviating the need for a use of a very thin film of a secondary emission material.

A directly heated cathode for electron tube having a stable electron emission characteristic is provided. The cathode comprises a base metal of Ni-W alloy consisting essentially of 20-30% by weight of tungsten, the balance being nickel and incidental impurities, said alloy being free from a reducing agent, and a layer of thermoelectron emission oxides laid directly and baked onto the flat part at the front side of the base metal. The layer of thermoelectron emission oxides is in direct contact with the flat part of the base metal.

There is disclosed a direct-heated cathode structure which comprises an insulating substrate; a pair of conductive supporting rods penetrating the substrate in the direction substantially perpendicular to the surface of the substrate and fixed tightly to the substrate; and a conductive member made of a single metal plate and including a first portion which is arranged in a plane spaced apart from the surface of the substrate by a predetermined distance and substantially parallel to the surface of the substrate and is coated with an electron emissive material, second portions which are extended from the first portion in the above-mentioned parallel plane substantially symmetrically with respect to the first portion, third portions which are extended from the end of extension of each of the second portions in the direction substantially perpendicular to the surface of the substrate toward the substrate, and fourth portions which are extended from the ends of the third portions in the direction substantially parallel to the surface of the substrate in the same plane as the third portions and are fixed to the supporting rods in the neighborhood of the end of extension of the fourth portions. Each of the first, second and third portions has a side wall provided along at least a part of the edges of these portions and extending in the direction substantially perpendicular to the surfaces of these portions.

Base metal plate materials comprising nickel as a main component, rhenium and tungsten, and if desired, a small amount of at least one reducing agent can be used for producing quick operating type directly heated oxide cathodes showing no peeling of the oxide layer from the base metal and having excellent mechanical strength at high temperatures and specific electric resistance.
Abstract:
The present cathode for cathode ray tube of directly heating type is characterized by comprising a cathode substrate body having two leg pieces extended in the same direction and a flat part connected to one end of each leg piece, prepared by shaping a flat metal plate of nickel- or cobalt-based alloy, a bonding layer having an uneven surface prepared by diffusion bonding by heating a powder layer comprising powders of alloy or mixture of nickel and cobalt formed on the flat part, to which a thermionic emission layer is to be bonded, and the thermionic emission layer, and has a very small deformation when used and a longer life.A cathode with much less deformation and much longer life can be obtained by using a cathode substrate body prepared from a flat metal plate provided with a thinner metal layer of at least one of nickel and cobalt on its surface than the flat metal plate by diffusion bonding.A cathode with much less deformation after the service for a long period and much longer life is obtained by using a cathode substrate body prepared from a flat metal plate provided with a metal layer of at least one of nickel and cobalt having a smaller thickness on its surface than that of the flat metal plate by diffusion bonding, and then applying a plastic working to the flat metal plate to a desired thickness.

Abstract:
Performance of fast warm up cathodes can be improved by providing a black heat radiating surface on the interior of the cathode cap. A particular material can be nichrome which is a nickel chromium alloy. The cathode cap material can be selected from any of the known cathode nickel alloys. A preferred method for accomplishing the result includes the steps of cladding a selected nickel alloy with the nichrome material and then forming the substantially cup shaped cap with the clad material on the interior thereof. The formed cathode cap is then fired for about 10 minutes or longer in wet dissociated ammonia at a temperature of about 900.degree. to 1300.degree.C to oxidize the available chromium on the surface of the nichrome. This produces an even dark surface thereon which has much higher heat radiating capabilities than the silver looking nickel cathode alloy.
Abstract:
An improved glow cathode for use as an ion source for cyclotrons is provided wherein the electron-emitting means is formed as a pill or button of a high melting point metal or metal carbide which is supported in a mounting of a highly refractory, substantially infusible material having a high electron work function. Preferably, the electron-emitting button is formed as a cylinder of tungsten and the mounting is formed of graphite. This device can be operated at a gas pressure of approximately 0.2 to 0.5 Torr and a heating voltage of 100 to 200 volts to provide deuterium or hydrogen ions for a cyclotron.
Abstract:
An incandescent lamp having a filament made of tungsten wire containing between 1-2 percent by weight thoria has greatly improved resistance to fracture caused by shock and vibration thereby increasing the service life of the lamp. The thoriated tungsten filament has a recrystallized grain structure which is characterized by approximately equiaxed crystals of tungsten of a smaller and more uniform size and thoria particles which are more uniformly distributed throughout the tungsten matrix than can be obtained by conventional powder metallurgy.
