Abstract

A method for fabricating an impregnated type cathode comprises the steps of mixing metal powder having a high melting point and a heat proof property, and electron emission substance powder in a dry state, pressing the mixed powder to provide a pressed mixture, and applying an isostatic pressure to the pressed mixture contained in a sealed capsule. At the mixing stage, the metal powder is heated by a high temperature lower than the melting point, and at the mixing stage, a sintered mixture is obtained. In this method, the steps are simplified and decreased in number to decrease a fabricating cost. Furthermore, no influence occurs in electron emission due to hydrooxides.
