Abstract

PURPOSE:To accelerate the formation of a Cr oxide layer and obtain an oxide cathode with stable cathode temperature and emission rise time by forming a sleeve fixed and arranged on a Ni substrate mainly with Ni and Cr and an alloy containing Ti, Zr and Hf, and heating it in the atmosphere mainly made of moist hydrogen. CONSTITUTION:In an oxide cathode constituted of a Ni substrate 1 containing a trace active metal and formed with a layer 2 made of an alkaline earth metal containing at least Ba on the surface and a sleeve 3 fixed and arranged on the substrate 1, the above sleeve 3 is mainly made of Ni and Cr and an alloy containing at least one kind of element selected among Ti, Zr and Hf within the range 0.1-10wt.%. The sleeve 3 is heated in moist hydrogen or in the atmosphere mainly made of it, thereby an oxide layer mainly made of Cr is formed on the surface. Accordingly, the heat absorption efficiency of the sleeve 3 is improved, thus the cathode temperature and emission rise time are stabilized.
