Do Barium Tungsten Cathodes Require Special Storage Conditions?

Barium tungsten cathodes require special conditions during storage to maintain their performance and stability. Here are some considerations for storing barium tungsten cathodes:

Dry environment: Barium tungsten cathodes should avoid humid environments during storage, because moisture may cause oxidation and corrosion on the surface of barium tungsten cathodes. It is best to store the cathode in a dry environment free of corrosive gases.

Avoid gas exposure: Barium tungsten cathodes should avoid exposure to air, especially at high temperatures. Because the barium on the surface of the cathode may react with oxygen to form oxides and affect the electron emission performance.

Low Temperature Storage: Where possible, storing barium tungsten cathodes at lower temperatures can help keep them stable. Cold storage can slow down the rate of chemical reactions in materials.

Anti-shock and vibration: Barium tungsten cathodes are brittle materials and are sensitive to shock and vibration. When storing and handling, handle it with care and avoid collision and vibration.

Avoid Contamination: The surface of the barium tungsten cathode is susceptible to contamination, which may affect the electron emission performance. During storage and handling, direct contact with the cathode surface should be avoided.

Proper Packaging: During storage and transportation, it is best to properly package the barium tungsten cathode to protect its surface from the external environment.
