METHOD OF MANUFACTURING TITANIUM-TRITIUM TARGET OF NEUTRON TUBE Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC H05H6/00 G21G4/02 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: in the claimed method, titanium is sputtered onto the metal substrate of the target and is saturated with tritium, the gas is supplied to the target and heat treatment of the target is performed therein, and the gaseous medium is removed from the target. In this case, the thermal treatment of the target is carried out in a heat treatment chamber at a temperature of 200-250°C for 1-2 hours, the pressure of the gaseous medium in the heat treatment chamber is determined from the condition that when the chamber is heated to the maximum it will be 80-90 kPa, as a gaseous medium dry air with a moisture content of not more than 13 mg/kg is used.

EFFECT: increasing the thermal stability of the titanium-tritium target, increasing the life and reliability of the neutron tube.
