Description

  

  Verfahren zur Herstellung von metallischen     Absorptionsschichten    in elektrischen       Gleichrichtergefässen.       Zum Schutze des Vakuums oder der Gas  füllung in elektrischen     Glühkathoden-Gleich-          richtern    wird allgemein eine dünne Metall  schicht von Magnesium;     Calcium    oder Alu  minium an den Gefässwänden erzeugt, welche  den Zweck hat, schädliche Gase, welche den       Gleichrichtervorgang    stören, zu absorbieren.

    Die Schicht wurde bislang erzeugt, indem  man das zu verdampfende Metall auf der  Anode befestigte und letztere durch Elek  tronenbombardement zum     Glüben    brachte,  wodurch das Metall verdampfte und die wirk  same Absorptionsschicht erzeugt wurde. Dieses  Verfahren hat den grossen Nachteil, dass die  Glühkathode durch die aus der Anode aus  strömenden Gase beschädigt werden kann,  lange bevor die Anode durch Erglühen die  wirksame Absorptionsschicht erzeugen kann..  



  Dieser Nachteil wird umgangen, wenn  man das zu verdampfende Metall, z.     B.    Mag  nesium,     Calcium    oder Aluminium, usw., bei  spielsweise in Drahtform verwendet und ent-    weder um die Glühkathode herumwickelt,  oder falls dieselbe als Spirale ausgebildet  ist, in diese hineinsteckt. Die     Schutzschicht     entsteht in dem Fall sofort, sobald durch  Strom die Kathode zum Glühen gebracht  wird. Hierdurch wird der     Pumpprozess    be  deutend abgekürzt und eine Beschädigung der  Kathode     findet    nicht statt.

   Dieses Verfahren  ist besonders wichtig, wenn als Kathode       thorierter,    das heisst mit     Thorium    legierter  Wolfram- oder     Molybdändraht    verwendet  wird.



  Process for the production of metallic absorption layers in electrical rectifier vessels. To protect the vacuum or the gas filling in electric hot cathode rectifiers, a thin metal layer of magnesium is generally used; Calcium or aluminum is generated on the vessel walls, which has the purpose of absorbing harmful gases that interfere with the rectifier process.

    The layer was previously created by attaching the metal to be evaporated to the anode and causing the latter to glow by electron bombardment, whereby the metal evaporated and the effective absorption layer was produced. This method has the major disadvantage that the hot cathode can be damaged by the gases flowing out of the anode long before the anode can generate the effective absorption layer by glowing.



  This disadvantage is avoided if the metal to be evaporated, e.g. B. magnesium, calcium or aluminum, etc., used for example in wire form and either wrapped around the hot cathode, or if the same is designed as a spiral, inserted into it. In this case, the protective layer is created immediately as soon as the cathode is made to glow by electricity. This significantly shortens the pumping process and prevents damage to the cathode.

   This method is particularly important if the cathode used is thoriated, i.e. tungsten or molybdenum wire alloyed with thorium.
