A Simulation Method of Graphite Heat Extrusion Process for High-Frequency Structure of Helix TWTs

A simulation method of Graphite Heat Extrusion Process for high-frequency structure of helix STWT is proposed in this paper. The Graphite Heat Extrusion Process includes both the heating and the cooling process which cannot be simulated in a whole simulation, so we simulate them respectively in ANSYS Workbench. The model after heating is somewhat damaged and need to be repaired in ANSYS Workbench. The effects of the deformation on electrical characteristics of the high-frequency structure can be analyzed with Microwave Tube Simulator Suite (MTSS). Using this method, the working parameters of the Graphite Heat Extrusion Process can be evaluated, as well the performance of the manufactured high-frequency structure can be observed.
