Discharging is a common reason of causing electron-filament failure. Therefore, in order to avoid electrical discharge between the anode and cathode (filament/shield), the region of electron gun needs high vacuum. When filaments (especially for FEGs) are in use, they are particularly sensitive to oxygen that also causes filament failure.
