Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the diffusion of an alkaline earth oxide into a base metal by composing the cathode so that a reducing type metal included in the base metal does not exist near the surface of a base metal at the side of the coverage of oxide. CONSTITUTION:The density of Mg in a base metal at the side of an oxide layer 3, of the Mg-Si-Ni system base metal 2 including a small amount of Mg and Si, is restricted 0.01 to 0.10%, and the density of Si is restricted less than 0.01%. On the contrary, the density of Mg at the side of a heater 4 is made 0.01 to 0.10% and the density of Si is made about 0.04%. While Mg to form a basic oxide is mixed to the base metal at the oxide layer side as a reducing metal intentionally, Si to form an acidic oxide is not mixed. By composing the base metal in such a way, a basic oxide MgO is formed in the base metal immediately under the alkaline earth oxide by the carbon dioxide in the solution of cathode, but no acidic oxide is formed, and the diffusion of the alkaline earth oxide into the base metal is prevented. The deterioration of electron emission performance is not generated consequently.

A Ni-based base metal 2 to which a small amount of reducing metals such as W and Zr are added is processed into a cup shape, coated with an alkaline earth oxide 3, and heated to approximately 800°C with a heater 4.
The structure is such that thermionic electrons are extracted from the cathode surface by heating the cathode to a certain temperature. Generally, oxide cathodes are manufactured by a similar procedure.

The free Ba thus formed acts as an active center in the alkaline earth oxide 2, and electrons are emitted from the cathode surface. 1 [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The process of converting carbonates into oxides is usually called cathodic decomposition. The carbon dioxide gas generated during this cathode decomposition oxidizes the base metal, and at the same time, heating causes crystal growth of the base metal, resulting in the following problems.

First, the gas generated by cathode decomposition is mainly carbon dioxide gas, which is concentrated near the surface of the base metal by Ni and reducing metals such as Si and Mg.

CO□-MgO+C0 Zr+2CO2-+ZrO2+2CO On the other hand, crystal growth occurs inside the base metal due to the heating effect due to cathodic decomposition, but crystal growth is suppressed because metal oxides generated by the above reaction are present on the base metal surface. . Because of this, a layer called a parallel grain boundary layer 7 in which small crystals are formed parallel to the base metal surface as shown in FIG. 3 is formed near the base metal surface.

この様な平行粒界層7にはMgO,Si○。Such parallel grain boundary layer 7 contains MgO and Si○.

Oxides such as ZrO2 are formed at the grain boundaries 8, and during use of the cathode, alkaline earth oxides diffuse into the base metal through the grain boundaries 8, and the above oxides and the like are formed at the grain boundaries 8. A composite oxide with an alkaline earth oxide is formed. The degree of formation of this composite oxide is related to the chemical affinity between the oxide formed at the grain boundaries 8 and the alkaline earth oxide. That is, since alkaline earth oxides are basic oxides, it is known that the more acidic the oxides at the grain boundaries 8 are, the more complex oxides are formed at the grain boundaries 8.

From this fact, if the oxide is alkaline MgO,
Complex oxides of this and alkaline earth oxides are difficult to form, thereby suppressing the intrusion of BaO. However, in the case of acidic oxides such as 5i02 and ZrO2, complex oxides are easily formed.

The composite oxide produced by such alkaline earth oxides entering the grain boundaries 8 has a wedge effect on the grain boundaries 8 of the base metal, so As a result, brittle fracture progresses, further promoting the diffusion of alkaline earth oxides into the interior.

When such a composite oxide is formed at the grain boundaries 8, the reaction between the reducing metal and the alkaline earth oxide does not occur at the interface between the base metal and the alkaline earth oxide, that is, at the base metal surface. First, this occurs at the grain boundaries 8 inside the base metal.

Therefore, free MB plays the role of the active center of the oxide cathode.
Since a diffuses to the base metal surface only through the grain boundaries 8, the activity of the oxide cathode becomes localized, making it impossible to uniformly extract a high current. Furthermore, the composite oxide precipitated at the grain boundaries blocks the diffusion path of the reducing metal, gradually reducing the ability to generate free Ba and deteriorating the electron emission characteristics of the cathode.
