Abstract :
The latest generation of high current density cathodes is placing greater demands on sintering procedures and fabrication techniques. As cathode size decreases, greater demands are placed on porosity control, materials, and bonding techniques and procedures. This research is focused on improving the processes and procedures used in production of high current density cathodes.
