Cerium Hexaboride (Cerium Boride, CeB6) ceramic is well-known for its superior electrical conductivity and high-temperature performance, making it popular in electronic and industrial applications. It performs well under specified conditions, making it an excellent choice for various high-tech applications.
CeB6 cathodes have a lower evaporation rate than LaB6 and last 50% longer than LaB6 because they are more resistant to carbon contamination.

Typical Grade: 99.5%
