ABSTRACT:
The power handling capacity of nickel-iron-based flat tensioned foil shadow masks for flat faceplate cathode ray tubes (CRTs) is enhanced by providing the flat tensioned mask (FTM) with a thin surface layer which is enriched in nickel, which is converted to a nickel phosphide compound. The nickel phosphide surface layer is formed on the mask by immersing the mask in a first bath of a strong reducing acid followed by immersing the mask in a second strong reducing acid having an effective amount of hypophosphite ion. The thin surface layer of a nickel phosphide compound increases the FTM emissivity and reduces FTM color impurity at high electron beam energies. The nickel phosphide compound may be stabilized in the frit-lehr cycle during CRT assembly or in a separate heating operation.
