LaB6 Ceramic Material Description
Lanthanum hexaboride is a ceramic compound known as LaB6. It consists of lanthanum and boron in a hexagonal structure. One notable property is its low work function. This allows excellent electron emission. LaB6 is widely used as an electron source. Some examples are electron microscopes, lithography systems, and welders. Additionally, LaB6 displays thermal stability and conductivity. It has a high melting point and low vapor pressure. This enables it to withstand heat. LaB6 therefore serves as a cathode material for power generation. It also maintains stability against oxidation. This permits use as a vacuum component and coating. LaB6 further assists industries like lighting and displays. It does so through characteristic electron emission from its traits. In summary, LaB6's properties enable diverse roles. Some roles include uses in microscopy, welding and power production. Therefore, LaB6 is a versatile material for science and technology applications.

LaB6 Products Packaging
Although LaB6 is not that rare and has a relatively mature production process, the small Plates of LaB6 are still quite brittle. We usually pack these ceramic parts in plastic bags with vacuum seal, and hevay foam
Documents packed together are COA of the raw material (Lanthanum Boride powder) for the LaB6 Plates
