Definitions
- the invention relates to a method of manufacturing an indirectly heated cathode in which a nickel cap as a support of the emissive material is welded to one end of a metal cylinder which is coated with a black layer.
- the invention furthermore relates to a cathode obtained according to said method.
- black layer can be obtained in a simple manner by oxidizing the material of the cylinder which usually consists of nickel or of a nickel-chromium alloy, before the cap is provided.
- the surface of the cylinder 1 is dipped in a suspension containing, for example, 2 litres of methylisobutylketonein which 160 g of nitrocellulose have been dissolved and in which 720 g of tungsten powder and 480 g of A1 have been suspended.
- the layer is then dried and sintered in a hydrogen atmosphere at l,200 C for 60 minutes.
- the aluminium oxide prevents the fonnation of an alloy between the tungsten and the nickel of thesubstratum which would decrease the radiation of the layer 2.
- a long cylindrical tube is preferably coated and after sintering cut into parts-of the desired length.
- a nickel cap 3 is slid over emissive layer 4 is provided on the cap 3.
- the cap comthe method according to the invention. For example,
- the cylinder is previously coated with a layer of a suspension comprising one or more suitable refractory metals and one or more metal oxides in powder form, after which the layer is dried and sintered in a reducing atmosphere, the nickel cap is slid over one end of the cylinder coated with the sintered layer and is then welded to said end.
- the sintered layer generally still comprises metal oxide, it has been found that welding does not present any diffi-' culties.
- Alayer consistingof a mixture of tungsten and aluminium oxide has proved to be very suitable.
- a layer of molybdenum and aluminium oxide has also proved to be suitable.
- the quantity of tungsten in the suspension for the layer to be provided may be from 40 to 90 percent by weight, the quantity of aluminium oxide from 60 to 10 percent by weight.
- the suspension may also comprise tungsten or molybdenum and their oxides.
- Reference numeral 1 in the FIGURE denotes a chromium-nickel cylinder (20 percent by weight Cr, 80
- the layer 2 comprises 40 percent by weight of A1 0 powder, it has beenfound that welding of the cap 3 does not present any difficulties. A heating member is afterwards provided in the cylinder 1. It has been found that the layer 2 maintains a constant black colour throughout the life of the cathode.
- cathodes which havebeen shaped in a different manner can also be manufactured by means of the cap 3 may be provided with a flange for the connection in the electrode system.
- a method of manufacturing an indirectly heated cathode comprising the steps of providing a metal first body and a nickel cap member, coating said metal first body with a layer consisting essentially of at least one refractory metal and at least one metal oxide in powder form, sintering said coated first body in a reducing atmosphere to provide a black layer thereon, and then welding said nickel cap at one end of said coated first body, whereby said nickel cap provides a support for emissive material for said cathode.
- An indirectly heated cathode comprising a metal first body coated with a sintered metal layer essentially consisting of from 60 to 10 percent by weight of metal oxide and the balance a metal, further comprising a cap welded to said first body over the sintered layer, and an emissive material provided on said'cap.
