The invention relates to a manufacturing process of a slow wave
system for a
helix travelling
wave tube. The manufacturing process comprises steps that, (1), a
helix and a clamping rod are put in a tube casing to form a slow wave before
extrusion; (2), the slow wave before
extrusion is put in an
extrusion tool, the position corresponding to the clamping rod is aligned with a pressing head of the extrusion tool, pressing force is exerted through the extrusion tool to make the tube casing, the clamping rod and the
helix to realize tight contact; (3), a white
copper ring and a pure iron pole shoe are sleeved outside the tube casing, an AgCu
welding material is filled, and the parts are sent to a
hydrogen furnace; (4), the
temperature curve of a
hydrogen furnace is set as follows, the temperature increasing / decreasing speed is 15DEG C / min, the
soldering temperature is 780 DEG C, the insulation time is 2 minutes, and the parts are taken out after
soldering; and (5), whether the clamping rod and the helix of the slow wave
system generate displacement and whether the
welding material is fully melted are detected through a
microscope. According to the manufacturing process, structure
soundness and
thermal diffusivity of the slow wave
system are greatly improved through the hot compression effect, and bearable power of the whole tube can be improved correspondingly.
