Description

Verfahren zur Herstellung von Glühkathoden für Elektronenröhren. Bekanntlich sind glühende Metalle oder glühende Metalloxyde bei sehr hohen Temperaturen fähig, Elektronen zu emittieren. Man macht von dieser Eigenschaft in der Technik der Glühkathodenröhren, wie Röntgenröhren, Verstärkerröhren, Senderöhren usw., weitgehend Gebrauch und verwendet dort im allgemeinen als Elektronenquelle einen weißglühenden Wolframdraht qder einen etwa rotglühenden, mit Erdalkalioxyden überzogenen Metalldraht, dessen Temperatur und damit Emissionsvermögen für Elektronen durch die Stärke des Heizstromes willkürlich her einflußt werden kann.Process for the production of hot cathodes for electron tubes. As is well known are glowing metals or glowing metal oxides capable of very high temperatures, To emit electrons. One makes of this property in the technology of the hot cathode tubes, such as X-ray tubes, amplifier tubes, transmitter tubes, etc., are widely used and used there generally an incandescent tungsten wire as the electron source for example red-hot metal wire coated with alkaline earth oxides, its temperature and thus emissivity for electrons is arbitrary due to the strength of the heating current can be influenced here.

Die Oxydkathoden haben gegenüber den Glühkathoden aus Wolfram an sich den Vorteil, bei geringerer Heizleistung größere Elektronenmengen abzugeben als jene. Sie haben dagegen den Nachteil, daß der_ Erdalkaliüberzug nicht genügend fest haftet, sondern zum Abblättern und Versprühen neigt, wodurch die Ausbeute der Elektronenquelle mit der Zeit geringer wird.Compared to the hot cathodes, the oxide cathodes are made of tungsten the advantage of giving off larger amounts of electrons than those. On the other hand, they have the disadvantage that the alkaline earth coating is not sufficiently strong adheres, but tends to peel and spray, reducing the yield of the electron source decreases over time.

Es ist deshalb vorgeschlagen worden, den ganzen Querschnitt des Drahtes mit Oxyd zu durchsetzen. Dies geschah bisher dadurch, daß man Metallpulver mit Erdalkalioxyden mischte und aus dem Pulver die Drähte durch Pressen, Sintern usw. herstellte.It has therefore been proposed to use the entire cross section of the wire to enforce with oxide. So far, this has been done by using metal powder with alkaline earth oxides mixed and made the wires from the powder by pressing, sintering, etc.

Die vorliegende Erfindung gibt einen noch einfacheren Weg zur Herstellung der Oxydkathoden an, bei denen das Oxyd nicht nur an der Oberfläche des Drahtes haftet. Nach der Erfindung wird in die Oberfläche des Drahtes beispielsweise Calciumöxyd eingewalzt, eingezogen oder eingerollt, in ähnlicher Weise wie die Herstellung der sogenannten Diamantsägen durch »Besetzen« von Scheiben, Bändern oder Drähten mit Diamantbord erfolgt.The present invention gives an even easier way of manufacturing the oxide cathodes, where the oxide is not only on the surface of the wire adheres. According to the invention, calcium oxide, for example, is added to the surface of the wire rolled in, drawn in or rolled up, in a manner similar to the manufacture of the so-called diamond saws by "filling" discs, ribbons or wires with Diamond brim takes place.

Verwendet man als Träger der Erdalkalioxyde beispielsweise Platin oder ein ähnliches weiches Metall, so drücken sich beim Ziehprozeß die einzelnen (mikroskopischen) Körnchen des Erdalkalioxydes in den Draht ein und werden nachher äußerlich von dem Metall überschmiert. Die Erdalkalioxyde liegen dann nicht zutage und sind daher in ihrer Wirkung sehr beeinträchtigt. Es ist daher zweckmäßig, sie dadurch wieder an die Oberfläche zu bringen, daß man die oberste Schicht des Drahtes abbaut, was beispielsweise durch rein chemisches Abätzen einer dünnen Oberflächenschicht des Metalles erfolgen kann, oder auch dadurch, daß man eine dünne Schicht von der Drahtoberfläche im Chlorstrom abdestilliert oder schließlich beispielsweise durch Kathodenzerstäubung rein mechanisch entfernt.For example, platinum is used as a carrier for the alkaline earth oxides or a similar soft metal, the individual parts squeeze each other during the drawing process (microscopic) grains of alkaline earth oxide into the wire and afterwards externally smeared with the metal. The alkaline earth oxides are then not revealed and are therefore very impaired in their effectiveness. It is therefore appropriate to them to bring it back to the surface by removing the top layer of the wire breaks down, for example by purely chemical etching off a thin surface layer of the metal can be done, or by the fact that a thin layer of the Wire surface distilled off in a stream of chlorine or finally through, for example Cathode sputtering removed purely mechanically.
