The arc erosion resistance of barium tungsten electrodes is the core indicator of its resistance to material loss, shape change or performance degradation under the action of arc, which directly affects its service life and stability. This ability is affected by multiple factors. The following is a systematic analysis from four dimensions: material properties, manufacturing process, use conditions and environmental interaction: I. Material Composition and Microstructure 1. Barium Tungsten Ratio and Alloying Effect Barium Content: Barium significantly improves electron emission…
