This paper presents an overview of technical solutions aimed at increasing the cold cathode manufacturing technology efficiency using pressure treatment methods. The paper considers the operational requirements imposed on the cathode, determining its efficiency due to the choice of material; as well as the technological requirements determining the features of metal pressure treatment methods application. An analysis of plastic deformation process flow charts is performed and little-­studied issues are highlighted. In conclusion, the paper formulates promising research areas.
