Method Of Fabricating Cathode Electrodes

US Patent:
4424044, Jan 3, 1984
Filed:
Apr 23, 1982
Appl. No.:
6/371151
Inventors:
Lawrence C. Pitman - Sudbury MA
Charles L. Toomey - Danvers MA
Assignee:
Raytheon Company - Lexington MA
International Classification:
H01J 904
US Classification:
445 35
Abstract:
A method is disclosed to fabricate a cathode electrode for a continuous wave magnetron so that the resulting product is relatively free from random frequency modulation and frequency "pushing". The method generally comprises the steps of forming, from a slurry containing comminuted tungsten and thorium hydride, a cathode electrode of the desired shape and heat treating such cathode to remove all volatile elements and ultimately to form a cathode electrode made up of an eutectic mixture of tungsten and thorium particles of tungsten.
