The present invention relates to the technical field of filament
cathode materials. Disclosed are a
tungsten carbide alloy filament and a preparation method therefor, and a heating device. The
tungsten carbide alloy filament comprises a base body (100) and a
carbonization layer (200) attached to the outer surface of the base body (100), wherein the grain width of the
carbonization layer (200) is 1.0-15.0 µm; the components of the base body (100) and the
carbonization layer (200) both comprise
tungsten, carbon,
oxygen and an M element, the M element being selected from one or a combination of more of La, Y, Sc, Nd, Sm, Lu, Ce, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Pr, Er, Tm, Yb, Eu, Hf and Zr; and the components of the
tungsten carbide alloy filament do not contain
thorium. The material improves the emission stability of the
tungsten alloy filament, and can also reach stable emission capability of a traditional
thorium-
tungsten filament without adding
thorium, thereby solving the problem of relatively poor stable emission capability of an existing thorium-free
tungsten filament, and avoiding the
radioactive contamination problem of a traditional thorium-
tungsten filament.
