Abstract
AbstractDue to strong anti‐poisoning ability, good emission stability, high emission current density, lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) and cerium hexaboride (CeB6) have been maturely applied in electron emission emitter. In this paper, a new manufacturing method for LaB6 (or CeB6) powder was proposed by using La2O3 (or CeO2), B4C, and Al as raw materials. After high‐temperature reaction in the range of 1673–1773 K and the following alkaline leaching at 90°C, LaB6 or CeB6 powder with particle size of about 10 μm was obtained. Furthermore, by Al metal flux method, the obtained powder was used to manufacture single crystal block with size of several millimeters.
