Barium tungsten electrodes are a cathode material widely used in electronic equipment and vacuum tubes such as displays, radars, and communications equipment. Its life is affected by a combination of factors. 1. Operating Temperature High temperature will accelerate the evaporation and ablation of barium tungsten electrode materials, resulting in a shortened electrode life. Proper control of the operating temperature is an important measure to extend the life. 2. Working Current The current directly affects the thermal load and electron emission…
