ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing a thermionic cathode structure comprises the steps of: (1) forming a mixture of (a) tungsten powder, (b) at least one of the group comprising alumina or zirconia or yttrium oxide powder, (c) alkaline earth metal carbonate powder, and (d) a binder, (2) pressing the mixture isostatically causing the mixture to adhere to form an electrically insulating body, (3) sintering the body in a dry hydrogen ambient thereby reducing the carbonate, and (4) coating the surface of the body or a portion of the surface with a poly-crystalline metal layer.
