Lanthanum Hexaboride (LaB6) Ceramics
Lanthanum Hexaboride Ceramics
LaB6 Ceramic is an inorganic non- metallic compound composed of low-valence boron and the rare metal element lanthanum. It is a refractory ceramic that could resist high temperature and harsh environments. LaB6 ceramic has lots of applications due to its ideal thermal, chemical, and electronic properties.
As LaB6 ceramic has the characteristics of high emission current density and low evaporation rate at high temperature, it always work as a cathode material with superior performance and has gradually replaced some tungsten cathodes in industrial applications.
