The cathode temperature of an electro-vacuum device is determined by a number of geometrical and heat-energetic factors. An investigation is performed which shows a significant dependence of the cathode temperature on the coefficient of filling of the cathode sleeve volume by the heater. The performed comparisons demonstrate advantages of application of a tungsten-rhenium alloy in comparison to the conventional tungsten heater. Also the dependence of heater temperature on the darkness coefficient of the alundum coating is determined. The efficiency of application of a dark coating is shown.

Quality criteria of a particular technological process of ultrahigh frequency electro-vacuum device manufacture using the example of (USSR) travelling wave tube evacuation.
The results of a study on the determination of quality criteria for a particular technological process are presented. In the example of travelling wave tube evacuation, criteria of the first and second kind are described. The criteria are evaluated for evacuation procedures for low and medium power travelling wave tubes.

(USSR) It is found that various degassing conditions of inner components of a travelling wave tube during its evacuation procedure considerably influence the character of the partial-heating characteristics of the cathode. A qualitative agreement between the parameters of the partial-heating characteristics and the behaviour of the tubes during life-testing is observed.

Analytical solution of the equations describing the character of the temperature distribution in the heater on an indirectly heated cathode is considered. On the basis of this solution, numerical calculations of the temperature field of the heater are performed, the results of which are compared with the experimental data on electro-vacuum devices. Good agreement indicates that the formulae can be used for analysis of thermal regime of indirect heaters in electrovacuum devices.

(USSR) Temperature increases in electron tubes above the optimum value results in deformation of grid structures, enhanced outgassing and various physico-chemical effects. A theoretical calculation of temperature fields in grid structures of electro-vacuum devices is presented. Mathematical formulae are obtained which enable evaluation of the influence of geometrical and physical parameters of various elements in the grid structure on the temperature field of grid.

(USSR) Due to nonuniform distribution of energy in electron beams and radiation heat flux from cathode to anode, separate parts of anode have enhanced temperature. This effect results in enhanced outgassing and poisoning of the electron tube cathode. Thermal effects in the anodes of electro-vacuum devices are analyzed. The formulae enable evaluation the influence of energetic, physical and geometrical factors of an anode on its temperature field.

(USSR) The connection of insulators to electrodes and the choice of treatment of their side surfaces are investigated in vacuum with a view to attainment of high electric strength in the accelerating tubes of electrostatic generators. A method of connecting insulators to electrodes using a lead wire and reducing leakage currents to below 10e8 A at voltage of 200 kV in vacuum at 1O-5 torr is described. These leakage currents are not higher than those obtained in the absence of the insulator in vacuum. A P Solodovnikov, 420. Arrangement
