Barium tungsten electrode is a composite electrode material made of tungsten (W) and barium (Ba) compounds, mainly used in electron emission devices such as cathode ray tubes (CRTs), X-ray tubes and electron guns. It combines the high melting point, corrosion resistance and mechanical strength of tungsten with the low work function characteristics of barium to achieve efficient thermal electron emission. Barium tungsten electrodes are usually composed of the following two parts: Tungsten Substrate: Tungsten is a high melting point metal…
