I. INTRODUCTION
The application of ultrasonic welding to the construction of electron tube mounts has been demonstrated with success. This accomplishment, in an area where ultrasonic welding equipment and techniques had never been previously applied, must be regarded as a pioneering effort. As could be expected, the tooling and the level of precision in assembly of· tube components could not rival the standard manufacturing technology; which has been developed over a period of thirty or more years. Indeed, shortcomings in the performance of several completed tubes have been traced directly to straightforward errors in assembly, such as positioning. The causes of the defects found in a sample lot of 100 electron tubes during qualification tests have been sought by electrical measurements and by physical and metallurgical examination, to obtain information which would lead to improved assembly procedures for production manufacturing in the future.
A. Electron Tube Type 60'80WB
The electron tube type selected by the U. S. Army Electronics Command for ultrasonic welding stuqy was the 6080WB twin triode, which has a record of rejects and failures due to metallic spatter caused by conventional welding techniques and defective welded joints. In addition, the diversity of materials and joint geometries presented in this tube would be useful in considering conditions for ultrasonic welding of other electron tubes.
The investigations carried out to design and construct tooling and to establish techniques for accomplishing the required joints have been described in the quarterly progress reports and ara not reviewed here. How~
ever, it is emphasi1ed that no significant redesign of the 6o80WB construction was undertaken and that components normally used in standard manufacture were used throughout the program. It became evident as the work pro~ ceeded that a change in the design of several components would simplify or eliminate various complex tooling problems which arose; however, such redesign was not contemplated within the scope of the program. Two modifications, however, were made during initial investigations: (1) elimination of the grid radiator and (2) a change in the geometry of the getter-to-snubber support joint. Consistent weld strength was not attained in joints made to the carbonized nickel grid radiator, and the radiator and intermediate ceramic spacer were eliminated from the tube since operation would not be affected thereby. The cross-wire weld geometry of the getter frame and snubber support rod resulted in intermittent damage to the components. By changing this joint to a parallel-wire geometry, strong consistent welds were obtained with no adverse effects on tube performance.

With these exceptions, all geometries evolved over the years for resistance-welding assembly of the 6o80WB tube were employed in the ultrasonic welding fabrication. Since hardness of the metallic components is not closely controlled by vendors of such items and since ultrasonic welding is somewhat more sensitive to material hardness (temper) than resistance welding, several of the standard components required hydrogen annealing to insure uniformity and consistency of material properties.
B. Fabrication
Pilot production of the 6080WB electron tube mounts was performed with a "SONOWELD" Model W-6oO-TSR ultrasonic welder equipped with special welding tips and fixtures. The work was carried out by Tung-Sol Electric Incorporated at Bloomfield, New Jersey, with Aeroprojects personnel assisting. The assembly sequence, delineating the tip and anvil tooling required, is shown in Appendix A, Table A-I. The photographs in Appendix A illustrate the progressive construction of the tube mount and the welding tooling employeds (The numbers in the photographs refer to the assembly sequence numbers in Table A-I.)

II. TEST RESUL'IS AND METALLURGICAL EXAMINATION
The sample lot of 100 tubes was tested in accordance with the schedule presented in the Fourteenth Quarterly Progress Report (Table II, p. 5). All tests were performed in accordance with the applicable paragraphs of TSS MIL-E-1/1121 (9/9/60) and witnessed by Mr.·s. Zucker, USAECOM, Production and Procurement Directorate, Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, or the USAECOM resident inspector at the Tung-Sol Bloomfield facility. Test results are summarized in Table I. Complete test data are presented in Appendix B.
Tubes which had been subjected to heater-cycling tests, shock tests, fatigue tests, and 2000-hour life tests were examined physically and metallographically to determine the reasons for failure. (There are·no endpoint requirements for the 2000-hour life test, only for 1000-hours under MIL-E-1/1121.) At least half the total number of satisfactory tubes from each test series were examined, together with at least half of those which failed the test requirements.
A. Heater•eyaling Tea~
All twenty 6o80WB alectran tubes subjected to heater cycling sucessfully met the end-point requirements. Ph1Bical examination of the heater-lead connection and heater connector/stem lead welds disclosed no indication of damage in these ~as. A source of potential difficulty, which was realized in the shock and fatigue test groups (see Sections B and c), is the insufficient length of the stem leads (pins 7 and 8) which are welded to the heater connectors. It was documented in the quarterly progress reports that the lead wires of the glass stems required manual crimping, trimming, and bending into proper orientation to match the various connectors of the cage assembly. Although this is normally a precision machine operation, in the present case the required crimp in the stem lead made it impossible to use Tung-Solrs in-plant stem-lead-forming machine without modification of the bending and trimming dies. Forming and trimming the leads by hand introduced alignment errors in the stem-cage assembly. In the case of the heater leads, they had all been cut too short and a full area weld between the lead and the connector was not possible. Because the preparation of additional glass stems with crimped and correctly trimmed leads would have delayed schedules established for completion of the tube fabrication, the short leads were used. Figure 1 shows the geometry of the heater connector/stem lead weld. Only the bottom corner of the connector could be welded to the lead without undue distortion of the heater connectors.
A photomicrograph of the heater connector/stem lead joint is shown in Figure 2. The section was taken longitudinally (parallel to the stem lead

axis) and shows excellent bonding. A photomicrograph (Figure 3) of the weld between the heater wire sleeve (nickel) and the heater connector (nickelplated steel) shows good bond quality between the sleeve and the connector. The sleeve is normally pressed to the ends or the heater wires in the heater subassembly operation, and a mechanical bond (crimp) is established between the heater wire and sleeve. The photomicrograph indicates that welding of the inner sleeve surfaces has been accomplished. A photomicrograph of the heater wire/sleeve/connector area (Figure 4) shows proper spacing of the leads and projection of the ceramic insulator beyond the edge of the cathode sleeve.
B. Shock Test
Eight failures out of fifteen tubes shook-tested were reported by TungSol. Two samples were rejected because of defective welds (tubes 114 and 118 open filament), two tubes developed cracks in the glass stem (tubes 114 and 119), and the remaining five reject tubes failed to meet the required end-point values during vibration testing.
Tubes 114 and 118 both had open filament-connector joints. Figure 5 shows the broken heater connector weld of tube 118. As pointed out in discussion of the heater cycling tests, the length of the stem leads was not sufficient to permit full contact with the connector. The right-hand connector in Figure 5 indicates the small area of contact; the left-hand connector shows the open joint. Examination of the broken weld indicated thinning of the connector tab in the joint area (an unsatisfactor,y joint-condition), resulting from imprecise alignment of the mating partse The righthand connector joint, although not broken, suffers from the same misalignment difficulties and does not represent a:satisfactory geometry.
Tube 118 contained a grid-cathode short in section 2 of the triode, in addition to the open filament-connector joint. Figure 6 shows the bottom grid lateral (left side of photograph) in contact with the cathode sleeve. Evidence of rubbing contact is indicated by transfer of gold (from the grid lateral) to the surface of the nickel cathode.
The cracks in the glass base of tube 114 are shown in Figure 7. These cracks. appear to have originated during the stem lead crimping operation and propagated during the shook test. Although the stem leads were examined after crimping and prior to assembly, the incipient cracks 9 if present, were undetected. The cracked stem of tube 119 (Figure 8) appears to be a normal shrinkage failure and does not show the shattered glass pillows surrounding the leads as for tube 114.
Comparison of the five tubes having high plate-voltage (Ep) values with tubes that successfully passed the shock test requirements indicated no significant difference in_the physical arrangement of the anode-grid-cathode

sections. Since the Ep values are measured during vibration (dynamic) testing, the results indicate a condition which cannot be detected by static phyaical examination.
The most likely cause of the high plate voltage was the lack of restraint of the grid in the modified tube design. In the original design, grid radiators are welded to the top of the grid side rods, effectively locking the grid assembly between the ceramic spacers (the grid is secured to the bottom ceramic spacer by grid eyelets). When the grid radiators were deleted from the tube for ultrasonic welding, no provision was made to secure the grid rods at the topo Consequently the grid assembly was free to move, since the only restraint was imposed by the bottom eyelets and the grid connectors attached to the stem leads. Substitution of grid eyelets for the grid radiator on the top ceramic spacer would have prevented the grid from "floatingo" However, since this situation was not recognized during tube fabrication and testing conducted at Tung-Sol, there was no opportunity to initiate remedial action.
Other tube defects also might have been prevented by securing the grid in place. The short circuit of tube 118 (Figure 6) after shock test probably resulted from displacement of the grido The shift in position of the grid can be observed in the spacing between the grid eyelet and bottom ceramic spacer (Figure 5).
c. Fatigue Test
Of the twenty tubes apportioned for the 96-hour fatigue test, only one successfully met the end-point requirements. Seven tubes had high Ep values in the pre-fatigue vibration test. One of these was within limits after the fatigue test; this was the tube that successfully met en4-point requirements. Four of these seven also developed short circuits. Four additional tubes indicated high Ep values after the fatigue test. Two of the remaining tubes indicated high transconductance in Section 2, two contained cracks in the glass envelope, and five contained broken welds.
The cause of the seven pre-fatigue test high Ep values could not be determined by physical examination, but can probably be ascribed to the floating grid assembly described above under Shock Test. The four additional failures after testing may also be due to the floating grid.
The grid-cathode shorts indicated in tubes 143, 144, 149, and 154 were observed by examination of tubes. In the case of tube 154 (Figure 9), the hot cathode melted the grid lateral in the area of contact. The cracked bulb of tube 148 (Figure 10) most likely was caused by residual stress or incipient cracking during the bulbing operation.

Broken welds are illustrated in Figures 11-14. The two defective heater connector/stem lead welds (Fi~res 11 and 12) are attributable to the short stem lead misalignment conditions already described. The open top cathode connector tab shown in Figure 13 represents the only defective weld in this area within the entire group of tubes tested. The open cathode in Section 1 (Figure 14) was caused by a fracture at the edge of the weld between the snubber support rod and bottom cathode connector (stem lead). The break was caused by excessive thinning of the cathode connector resulting from welding deformation.
A more drastic example of weld failure is shown in Figure 15. Tube 151 contains fractures in the heater connectors and a bottom cathode connector as well as bending and twisting distortion of the remaining stem lead connectors. Comparison with a typical tube indicates that the entire cage assembly of tube 151 had been pulled away from the stem leads. It is doubtful that the fati~e test was responsible for the gross displacement of the cage within the bulb, and the cause of this defect can presumably be ascribed to loosening of the cage assembly by connector breakage during testing and subsequent damage during handling and/or shipping (the tubes were returned by commercial carrier to Aeroprojects from Tung-Sol for these analyses).
D. 2000-Hour Life Test
Twenty tubes were subjected to the 2000-hour life test. After the 1000-hour point, two tubes failed to meet standard (MIL-E-1/1121) 1000-hour endpoint requirements. One tube (101) had failed at 280 hours; the other (104) met requi:rements at 760 hours but failed at 1020 hours. After 2000 hours, five more tubes failed to meet the 1000-hour requirements. All five had developed defects between 1500 and 2000 hours. Inspection of the welded joints in these seven tubes and in the remaining thirteen indicated that all ultrasonic welds survived the 2000-hour operation with no apparent adverse effects.
Both tubes that developed defects below 1000 hours indicated an open heater circuit. Examination showed that all welds associated with the heaters were satisfaetor.y (Figure 16), but that the base pins on both tubes had not been soldered (Figures 17-18). The open heater circuits are ver.y probably a result of this omission, and cannot be ascribed to defects associated with construction of tube mounts.
Of the five tubes that developed defects between 1500 and 2000 hours, one tube (100) developed a short circuit between the grid lateral and the cathode sleeve (Figure 19). Contact between the grid and cathode may have resulted either from mechanical damage or from elevated temperature distortion. A similar defect was observed in five tubes subjected to shock or fatigue testing (Figures 6 and 10).

Tubes 78 and 91 developed high grid current, tube 79 developed heatercathode leakage, and tube 88 developed both. Both these conditions reflect minute changes in the relative positions of the components and/or degradation of the materials (e.g., heater insulator) during operation. Observation of the causes is virtually impossible, because the tube mount cannot be disassembled for inspection without damaging or distorting the components.
Since the acceptance specification test is for 1000 hours, data on the performance of normal production tubes for a 2000-hour life test are not available. Hence no definite conclusions can be drawn regarding comparative tube performance at the 2000-hour operation level. However, since no significant changes were made in either tube geometry or materials, no differences are anticipated in the electrical characteristics of production tubes made by ultrasonic welding and resistance welding, unless ultrasonic welding results in degradation of the welded junctions and/or elevated temperature creep or distortion of metal components. It is significant that all 18 tubes tested (not counting the two with unsoldered base pins) met the end-point test requirement for the 1000-hour life test after 1500 hours. Over 70 percent (13) of the test group (18) were operative within specification values after 2000 hours.
E. Other Tests
Stability and survival rate tests and acceptance inspection tests were carried out on the remainder of 6o80WB tubes (see Appendix B). Of these 25 tubes, only one (156, high Ep in y-position) failed to meet end-point requirements. No physical or metallurgical examination was carried out on these tubes.

III. CONCLUSIONS
The fabrication, testing, examination and analysis of the ultrasonically welded 6080WB (modified) electron tubes has clearly indicated the feasibility and potential capability of the ultrasonic welding process in electron tube manufacture, and a limited production capability for the 6o80WB tube using this technique was established.
During the course of the tube fabrication, several problem areas were revealed wherein further work effort and experience will be of value:
1. Although all the metallic components were successfully joined by ultrasonic welding, the ceramic (AlSiMag) spacers normally used in production tubes were subject to fracture during the snubber-tosnubber rod welding. An alternative spacer material may alleviate this condition and allow the snubber welds to be made ultrasonically (as they were before the Fotoceram spacer was replaced with the AlSiMag spacer).
2. The configuration of the stem leads should be modified to permit better alignment with the various connecting tabs.
3. The grid frame should be secured to the top spacer by grid eyelets.
4. Second generation fixturing will insure very substantially improved alignment between components during welding.
5. Welder design and tooling should be re-examined in light of the experience gained in this work and of the advances made in equipment and techniques during this programs In this connection, a welding machine incorporating an axial-drive transducer-coupling system (as opposed to the wedge-reed system employed in the standard 6oO-watt welder used in this program) will simplify tooling requirements substantially without compromising accessibility or welding performance.
6. Proficiency in welder operation and tube assembly must be developed by operating personnel.
The results of this work indicate that a major proportion of the failures could have been averted by better control and skill in the assembly operation. Of the 35 defective tubes, including 5 that failed to meet 1000-hour end-point requirements after 2000 hours, only 7 rejects were directly attributable to weld defects or weld failure. It is possible that some of the remaining failures may have originated indirectly from this welding operation, such as residual stresses or microscopic distortion of components which finally led to short circuits or out-of-limit electrical

conditions, but the floating grid seems a more likely origin for such defects. Sixteen of the 35 defective tubes (approximately 46 percent) indicated high Ep values. Detection and elimination of the cause for these defects wcmld logically be pursued during additional tube fabrication and test. Since complete test data are available for only selected lots of the initial 100 tubes, the exact cause of these failures cannot be determined.
The following is concluded:
1. The feasibility of ultrasonically welding electron tube components to produce acceptable assemblies has been demonstrated with a slightly modified 6080 WB twin triode.
2. One hundred 6080WB tubes were assembled with generally standard components used in current manufacturing procedures and subjected to acceptance and qualification tests according to MIL-E-l/1121A. Only 7 failures resulting from welding defects were encountered in the test group.
3. Failure of 16 tubes to meet the required Ep end points specified in MIL-E-l/1121A was due to causes which were not directly disclosed by this investigation, but which appear to be associated with failure to secure the grid assembly.
4. All the ultrasonically welded connections in the 6080WB were accomplished with a standard 6oo~watt ultrasonic welder. Special welding tips and tools were designed, fabricated, and adapted to the standard welder to accomplish welds in the various joint geometries of the 6080WB tube elements without significant modification of the tube design.

REPORT OF CALIBRATION K-2 POTENTIOMETER

Submitted by
Tung-Sol Electric Inc. Bloomfield, New Jersey
Tests of the adjustments of the main dial, the standard-cell dial 1 the slide-wire, and the factors of this potentiometer were made in November 1965 1 at a room temperature of about 23°C. With the current adjusted so as to produce a potential difference between the standard-cell terminals equal to the reading of the standard-cell dial, the potential difference between the "E.M.F." terminals can be expressed by the following equation:
E = F(l+f)[D+d+O.OOOl(D +d)] s s
Here E is the potential difference between the "E.M.F." terminals expressed in the same unit as the electromotive force of the stand-
jird cell used with the instrument; F, D, and D are the factor, main dial, and slide-wire readings respectively; f 1
5 d1 and d are the corrections to these readings. The corrections are to be !aken from the following tables:

0.015% E +0.2 of the smallest subdivision of the slide wire.
To obtain this accuracy, however, in case E is less than 0.02 volt usually it will be necessary to correct for thermoelectromotive forces within the potentiometer and within the circuit of the connected galvanometer.
When the reading of'the factor switch is changed, the current through the potentiometer should be readjusted, if necessary, to produce a potential difference between the standard-cell terminals equal to the reading of the standard-cell dial.

CERTIFICATE for
WESTOl'I STAI'TDARD CELL SERIAL N0 ....... ~?.2§" ...
Thb is the unsaturated form of Weston Cadmium Cell. By direct comparison at the Weston I.abor~tories, with normal cells standardized by the National Bureau of Standards, the electromotive force of this cell is 1. 01897 2 5. 0
................................ Absolute Volts at ................ ·c Absolute Volt: The value of the emf certified is based upon the Absolute Volt agreed upon by the International Committee on Weights and Mea.."llres and adopted by the National Bureau of Standards, January 1st, 1948. It is maintained by the saturated form of Weston Cadmium Cell, known as the Westorl Normal Cell, the emf of which is 1.018636 Absolute Volts at 2o·c. Tempcratnrt CoefficJent: The temperature coefficient of this cell is less than 0.00001 per degree centigrade, and considered negligible for ordinary changes in temperature.
Effect of Time anti Use: The electromotive force of standard cells decreases slightly with use and time. For purposes of instrument standardization the error produced by this change is negligible if the cell is properly used. For measurements requiring great precision, for example 0.02 per cent or better, or if there is a possibility of the cell having been misused, it is recommended that the cell be returned for recertification at intervals of one or two years.
PRECAUTIONS
a. The cell should not be exposed to temperatures below 4°C or above 40°C. b, Although the temperature coefficient is negligible, small but appreciable errors result if the
cell is subjected to sudden changes in temperature, or to unequal heating. It should be kept at a reasonably constant temperature sufficiently 1ong to permit all parts of the cell to reach the same temperature, and sources of heat should be kept at a cfutance.
c. Standard cells should not be used in circuits where the cell current is continuous or at any time in excess of 0.0001 ampere. To limit the current it is desirable to have a protecting resistor connected in series with the cell, at least until a balance with an opposing emf is nearly obtained.
d. When sending the cell for recertification or for any other reason, it should be packed with great care to prevent shock during shipment. Any damage resulting from improper packing must be the responsibility of the sender.

MULTIRANGE SHUNT Tung-Sol Electric Serial No. T-S No. 1
Submitted by
Tung-Sol Electric Inc. Bloomfield, New Jersey
Measurements were made on this shunt box in December 1965, at a room temperature of about 22°C. The resistance of each section was determined as a four terminal resistor, using the binding post marked "-" as a common current and potential terminal. The binding posts marked "MILLIAMPERES" was used as the other potential terminal. The resistance values, in ohms, were found to be as follows:
Positive Terminal
1.5 3 7.5
15 30
Resistance
1000.120 499.901 199.704 99.9904 so. 0044
At the time of calibration, and under the conditions specified it as unlikely that the values given above were in error by more than 0.005 percent. This uncertainty estimate includes all~ance for both systematic and random errors occurring in the calibration ~rocedure.

Bloomfield, New Jersey
This volt box was tested at rated voltage in December, 1965, the room temperature and relative humidity being 23°C and 451., respectively. The values Qf ratio given in the table were obtained under the test CQnditions aet fQrtb in this report.
Voltage Range Voltage Ratio
750 500 X 0.99990 300 200 X 1.00000

15 lQ X 1.00009
7.5 5 X 1.00007
3 2 X 1.00001
Measurements indicate that large changes in ratio arise from selfheating. The value given in the table for the 750/1.5 ratio at rated voltage was obtained two hours after voltage was first applied. During this interval, the value of this ratio increased rapidly from 500 x 1.00004 to a maximum of 500 x l.OOOlo within the first ten minutes and then gradually decreased to its equilibrium value given in the table. The remaining ratios were measured in aucceesion after equilibrium was reached on the given range.

It is very unlikely that the above values of ratio are in error by more than 0.005 percent. This figure includes an allowance for both the random and systematic errors of the calibration process. However, because of relatively large heating effects, the above values should not be relied upon to this accuracy unless the conditions in use duplicate those stated in this report.

Submitted by:
Tung-Sol Electric, 'Incorporated Bloomfield, New Jersey
In order to make this capacitor compatible for measurement on NBS instl."umentation, it was necessary to utilize a 12.-inch length of coaxial cable and an adaptor from the female UHF connectors to a Western Electric Type 358-A connector. This adapting equipment was connected to terminals "F" and "L" of the main capacitor as required to complete the calibration. The stated accuracy of the measurements includes any en·ors contributed by the use of the adapting equipment.
The direct capacitance values, given in the table, were obtained at 465 kHz under ambient conditions of approximately 2.3° C and 40 percent relative humidity.
