LaB6 Introduction
Lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) has several notable traits enabling varied uses. It consists of lanthanum and boron in a hexagonal crystal structure.
LaB6 has an exceptionally low work function, making it ideal for electron emission. This leads to common use as an electron source in microscopes, lithography systems, and welders.
Additionally, LaB6 displays thermal stability and conductivity. Its melting point and vapor pressure allow withstanding heat. As a result, LaB6 serves as a cathode material in power generation.
LaB6 also maintains stability against oxidation. This permits applications as a vacuum component and heat-resistant coating.
LaB6 further assists industries like lighting and displays thanks to characteristic emission. In all, LaB6's properties support diverse roles in fields involving microscopy, welding, power production and more. Its unique qualities have made LaB6 a versatile material for scientific and technical purposes.

LaB6 Tube Packaging
Although LaB6 tubes are not that rare and has a relatively mature production process, the small Tubes of LaB6 are still quite brittle. We usually pack these ceramic parts in plastic bags with vacuum seal, and hevay foam.
