Improvement the Action Efficiency of Microwave Vacuum Tube Type GI-19B by Activation its Intersurfaces

Abstract

In this research an improvement of the efficiency  of vacuum microwave  tube  type      Gl-19B     had  been  done  by activation    of internal surfaces   using two specific  procedures  which can qualify  the tubes to be reused again.

The first method  was the reevacuuated  and heating treatment.

The second  method wa:s the glow discharge  method which  used ro

clean the electrodes and improve the vacuum to about!o·8 mbar.

In order   to study  the  using of  both processes   together,  Copper

samples  heated  in  vacuwn  chamber first and  then    used    the  glow discharge technique, it was found  that the lowered  resistance  and  less roughness  of  the   surface of the  copper   sample  after the removal  of

the oxide and  the carbon  materials from the surface of copper sample.
