The invention relates to the technical field of filament
cathode materials, in particular to a
tungsten carbide alloy filament, a preparation method thereof and a heating device. The
tungsten carbide alloy filament comprises a base body and a
carbonization layer attached to the outer surface of the base body. The grain width of the carbonized layer is 1.0 [mu] m to 15.0 [mu] m; the components of the matrix and the carbonized layer comprise a
tungsten element, a carbon element, an
oxygen element and an M element; the M element is 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; wherein the component of the
tungsten carbide alloy filament does not contain a
thorium element. The emission stability of the
tungsten alloy lamp filament is improved, the stable emission capability of a traditional
thorium tungsten lamp filament can be achieved under the condition that no
thorium element is added, the problem that an existing
tungsten lamp filament without thorium is poor in stable emission capability is solved, and the problem of
radioactive contamination of the traditional thorium
tungsten lamp filament is solved.
