(Germany) Comparative study of X-ray photoelectron spectra of copper compounds as well as an examination of the changes of copper and oxygen peaks caused by active gases show that the satellite peaks adjacent to copper peaks are characteristic for the cupric ion. The samples were subjected to prolonged degassing at 250°C in vacuum 10-j torr before measurements. T Robert and G Offergeld, Phys Sfat Sol (a), 14 (I), 1972, 277-282. 37 1092. Anisotropy

(Germany) The internal friction spectrum of copper whiskers prestrained by torsion is experimentally investigated in vacuum 5 x 10e5 torr. It is found that the complex temperature dependence of internal friction is due to inelastic behaviour of dilocations and point defects entered into a whisker during prestraining.

41. METALS AND ALLOYS 41:31 1093. Alloy for cathode units. (USSR) An alloy designed to improve the strength of cathode heaters is proposed; it comprises 8&94% tungsten, 5-15x molybdenum, I&5% rhenium, together with 0.154.32x potassium oxide, 0.20.45 % silicon oxide, and 0.01-0.05 % aluminium oxide. The alloy is prepared by ordinary methods of powder metallurgy (pressing, sintering in hydrogen, and heat treatment close to the melting point). A considerable proportion of the oxide additives leaves the alloy during the heat treatment; the particles remaining impart an excellent combination of strength, toughness, and ductility. Cathodes so made are on the whole cheaper than those made by conventional methods. V M Amosov et al, Soviet Patent, class H 01 j, l/22, H 01 k, l/02, No. 360,701, claimed

1094. Alloy for cathodes.
(USSR)
A nickel-base alloy for cathodes containing 0.054.5x zirconium and 0.005-0.2°~ boron is proposed, the boron constituting an innovation. The tensile strength of this alloy in the original state is 5@90 kg/mm2, while after treatment at 900°C it falls to 30-50 kg/mm’ and the relative elongation equals 17-23 “A. The number of bends to rupture after heat treatment is 125-225 and the Eriksen stretch 1.75-1.1 mm. The change in combustion voltage for a current of 2-15 mA euuals 2.5-3.0 V: the spread in this parameter from one instrument to another for a current of 5 mA is 0.2-l .O V.
