Problems solved by technology

In the prior art, a small amount of oxides such as Th, Ce, Ba, etc. are added to the refractory metal tungsten to form a cathode material, such as the patent document Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 5-54854, and the tungsten alloy added with these oxides is For the cathode, when the discharge is performed, the oxide diffuses from the inside of the alloy to the surface of the cathode to make up for the consumption of the discharge surface. Although it has the effect of reducing the work function, the diffusion process of the oxide becomes a rate-limiting step and hinders the improvement of the characteristics.

Abstract

The invention discloses an electrode structure resistant to arc ablation. The electrode structure at least comprises a surface layer, a double-phase layer and a matrix layer from outside to inside, and the matrix layer is made of metal; the surface layer is a metal oxide, the double-phase layer is an interlayer between the surface layer and the matrix layer, and the double-phase layer is formed by gathering the metal and the metal oxide. The metal oxide is formed by in-situ oxidation of metal of the matrix layer. The metal and the metal oxide thereof satisfy that the metal oxide has a lower electron work function than the metal and a higher melting point than the metal. The metal oxide is formed by in-situ oxidation of metal of the matrix layer on the matrix layer through arcing discharge. The electrode has the characteristic of uniform arc ablation, and the uniform ablation behavior of the electrode has good sustainability in the long-time arcing discharge process. The invention also discloses a preparation method of the electrode and application of the electrode in arcing discharge.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electrode of an arc discharge device, in particular to a cathode of an arc discharge device with a layered structure and a preparation method of the cathode. Background technique [0002] The cathode is the most important part in the plasma generator, and its material is metal with high melting point. In the prior art, metal tungsten with high melting point is mostly used. Ablation is the main process of unavoidable cathode failure in arc plasma applications such as vacuum contact switching, arc welding and plasma cutting. During arcing, the direction of the electric field in the arc plasma is from the anode end to the cathode end. The cations formed by ionization of neutral molecules in the arc column are accelerated by the electric field and bombard the surface of the cathode. Due to the emission of electrons and the bombardment by ions, the temperature of the cathode spot is extremely high, usually exceeding The melting ...
