よび下支持部材４を配置して構成されている。Generally, as shown in Figure 1, in a magnetron cathode body, a heat support 2 is placed at the center of a filament 1, and a heat support 2 is placed at both ends of the filament 1 to support the filament 1 and prevent electrons from being emitted in the axial direction. An upper support member 3 and a lower support member 4 are arranged at the top.
そして、マグネトロンの使用に際してフィラメント１は
約１７００℃の高温度に上昇するため支持部材３、４は
タングステン又はモリブデン等の高融点金属により形成
されている。When the magnetron is used, the temperature of the filament 1 rises to a high temperature of about 1700° C., so the supporting members 3 and 4 are made of a high melting point metal such as tungsten or molybdenum.

Since the temperature rises to 700° C., the filament 1 is installed in an airtight chamber (not shown) of a magnetron in a vacuum state in order to prevent the filament 1 from being oxidized.
さて、近時支持部材に高融点金属粉末の焼結体を用いる
ことが実用化されつつある。Recently, the use of sintered bodies of high-melting point metal powders for support members has been put into practical use.

ネトロンの寿命を短縮することとなる。In a cathode body using a support member made of such a sintered body, there are several issues such as secondary electron emission and ease of manufacture.
Although it has advantages, it has the following drawbacks, and improvements in these points have been desired. In other words, although it is used in an airtight chamber in a vacuum state as described above, when a porous high melting point metal sintered body is used as the support members 3 and 4 of the magnetron cathode body, the The phenomenon that the radiation efficiency decreases or the filament 1 oxidizes often occurs. In such a case, the characteristics of the magnetron deteriorate early, shortening the life of the magnetron.
本発明はかかる原因を追求すべく鋭意研究を進めた結果

のである。Thus, the supporting members 3 and 4 manufactured in this way are as follows:
As shown in FIG. 2, it has many minute voids 5 inside, and gases other than the atmospheric gas during sintering may be contained in these voids. When such support members 3 and 4 are installed in the airtight chamber of a magnetron and used in a vacuum state and the temperature is high, this gas is gradually released into the airtight chamber by diffusion, reducing the radiation efficiency and causing the filament 1 to This caused the magnetron's properties to deteriorate due to oxidation. The present invention was made based on this knowledge, and when installing a support member made of a high melting point metal sintered body that supports a filament into an airtight chamber of a magnetron cathode body,
By heating this supporting member in a non-oxidizing gas atmosphere and replacing the gas in the voids of the sintered body constituting the supporting member with non-oxidizing gas, good properties can be maintained over a long period of time. The purpose is to provide a magnetron cathode body.

However, some of it is replaced with air during processing steps after sintering or during long-term storage. Accordingly, in the present invention, the support member containing air or other gas that promotes deterioration of the filament in its internal void is provided with an atmosphere of a non-oxidizing gas such as hydrogen gas or a mixed gas of hydrogen and nitrogen. 1000~ inside
Heat treatment is performed at 1400°C for 3 to 1 hour. By this heat treatment, air and other gases existing in the gaps 5 of the support members 3 and 4 are replaced with non-oxidizing gas.
