Tungsten-iridium impregnated cathode
| Details |
Inventors: Green, Michael C.;
Assignee: Varian Associates, Inc. (Palo Alto, CA)

Porous agglomerates are made from pure tungsten by sintering fine particles together and mechanically breaking down the mass to form some agglomerates considerably larger than the particles. These agglomerates are mixed with fine iridium powder and sintered to form a porous mass. The mass is machined to the cathode shapes and impregnated with an alkaline earth aluminate. The large agglomerates alloy with the iridium only on their outer surface. Their pure tungsten interior provides the surfaces to reduce the alkaline earth oxide to the metal which activates the cathode. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A thermionic cathode comprising: a porous matrix of an alloy of at least one noble metal of the platinum group with a refractory metal of the group consisting of tungsten, molybdenum and alloys of these, porous agglomerates dispersed in said matrix having dimensions large compared to the components of said matrix, said agglomerates being composed of one of said refractory metals, and the pores of said matrix and said agglomerates being filled with an active material comprising at least one alkaline earth oxide.
2.
The cathode of claim 1 wherein said active material further comprises aluminum oxide.
3.
The cathode of claim 1 wherein said platinum group metal is iridium.
4.
The cathode of claim 1 wherein said refractory metal is tungsten.
5.
The cathode of claim 1 further comprising a smooth surface adapted for electron emission.
6.
The cathode of claim 5 further comprising a uniform, homogeneous layer on said smooth surface, said layer comprising said noble metal and said refractory metal.
7.
The cathode of claim 6 wherein the composition of said layer is approximately the average composition of said matrix.
8.
The cathode of claim 1 further comprising means for supporting said cathode.
9.
The cathode of claim 1 further comprising means for heating said cathode to a temperature of about 1000.

10.
A process for manufacturing a thermionic cathode comprising the steps of: forming a porous body by sintering together particles of a refractory metal of the group consisting of tungsten, molybdenum and alloys of these, mechanically breaking down said porous body into fines and agglomerates, said agglomerates being large compared to said particles, mixing said agglomerates with particles, of dimensions small compared to said agglomerates, said particles containing at least one noble metal of the group consisting of iridium, rhenium, ruthenium and osmium, compressing said mixture, sintering said mixture to adhere said particles and said agglomerates into a porous mass, impregnating said mass with a molten oxide comprising an alkaline earth oxide
