Abstract:
A method of producing an aluminum oxide and tungstate powder for insulating cathode heaters includes mixing a finely divided aluminum oxide powder with ammonium tungstate, rinsing out excess ammonium tungstate, drying the mixture and heating in a nitrogen-hydrogen atmosphere to about 700.degree.C.
Abstract:
A cathode heater element is coated with a dark colored heat radiating porous layer of insulating material such as aluminum oxide and a refractory metal such as tungsten. The aluminum oxide is applied in an electrolytic bath, dried and impregnated with a tungstate solution. The layer is heated and sintered in a nitrogen hydrogen atmosphere. The heater element has improved heat transfer characteristics.
Abstract:
A black second layer containing xylene, petrol and tungsten powder is provided on an unsintered first insulating layer of aluminium oxide and polyvinyl acetate of a filament of an indirectly heated cathode.
