A frittable evaporable getter device includes a metallic container having a disk-shaped bottom wall and a side wall extending upwardly from the bottom wall. A powder compact having an upper surface in which at least two radial recesses are formed is disposed in the container. The powder compact is formed of a mixture of BaAl.sub.4 powder and nickel powder. A discontinuous metallic member is embedded in the powder compact such that the member does not protrude from the upper surface of the powder compact and the member is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the container. An evaporable getter device having reduced activation time includes a powder compact formed of a mixture of BaAl.sub.4 powder, nickel powder, and between about 0.3% and about 5% by weight based on the total weight of the mixture of a third component selected from aluminum, iron, titanium, and alloys thereof.

Frittable-evaporable getters having discontinuous metallic members,

An evaporable getter device for mounting in an electron tube is provided which comprises a pan-shaped container having a vertical side wall formed around the perimeter of a disc shaped bottom wall and a pulverized getter metal vapor releasing material pressed into the space formed by said side wall and said bottom wall. There is also provided a first heat transfer retarding means which delays the transfer of heat in a circumferential direction through the getter metal vapor releasing material. There is also provided a second heat transfer retarding means which delays the transfer of heat in a radial direction through the getter vapor releasing material. When the getter device is heated by currents induced from a radio frequency field created by a coil positioned outside the tube, opposite the getter device, high yields of getter metal are released in a short time without detachment of the getter material residues from the container.
