Lanthanum Hexaboride (Lanthanum Boride, LaB6) ceramic is a high-performance material with excellent electron emission properties at low temperatures, making it widely used in a variety of high-tech industries. Its special qualities make it a valuable material for high-temperature and electrical applications. LaB6 is chemically stable in vacuum and unaffected by moisture. Lanthanum Hexaboride's high melting point, superior thermal conductivity, and certain magnetic properties make it ideal for electron emission in electron guns, electron microscopes, and other high-temperature and vacuum conditions.
