Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sealing film and associated lamp with this film according to the preamble of claim 1. It is in particular to Molybdenum foils, which find application in bruises, as they are used for sealing of incandescent and discharge lamps are common.
  • the film is with a protective layer of Al, Cr, Si, Ti or Ta provided.
  • the thickness is 5 to 100 nm.
  • a similar technique is known from DE-A 30 06 846, in which the same Purpose layers of Ta, Nb, V, Cr, Ti, Y, La, Hf or Sc are used.
  • the layer thickness is 10 to 200 nm.
  • US Pat. No. 3,420,944 discloses a partial chrome plating on a system two slides that partially overlap.
  • the oxidation of the film-pin connections is not responsible for the failure of the film seal, but the attack of the corrosive filling components (for example, metal halides) or filling gases on the molybdenum foil.
  • the molybdenum foil is previously sandblasted, resulting in an improvement of the glass-metal compound. Sandblasting, however, results in resistance welding to high rejects, as this non-conductive Al 2 O 3 particles remain on the Mo film surface.
  • the wear of the resistance welding electrodes increases very much. In the case of sandblasted foils replacement of the electrode is necessary after approx. 70 welds (compared to a replacement interval of approx. 1000 welds with untreated foil), so that a frequent change of the electrodes is necessary.
  • From DE-A 199 61 551 is the use of Ru-containing films in the lamp industry known. In this case, a uniform coating of at least one side of the film recommended.
  • meltdown film is composed as a stack of two films.
  • a molybdenum foil is used in each case for both parts.
  • One or both Parts are specific with pure ruthenium, rhenium or a compound or alloy containing ruthenium, or rhenium, coated.
  • a coating material is especially pure ruthenium (Ru), rhenium (Re) and a molybdenum-ruthenium alloy with eutectic composition.
  • Ru mediates not only a reliable glass-metal connection, so good adhesion of both Components and thus a good seal is achieved, but also one simple joining connection during welding or soldering; it is also halogen resistant and inert with regard to any contact with the filling.
  • the first film is specifically designed for the secure welding of external power leads (typically molybdenum pins) and designed for safe oxidation protection. It is provided at least in the region of the connection between the power supply and the film on both sides with a oxidation-preventing or at least reducing coating with a layer thickness of at least 800 nm. Both materials are suitable for this film, but the best results are achieved with ruthenium.
  • the second, with respect to the piston volume inside film is designed as a sealing distance. It is not at all or unilaterally provided with a thin coating ( ⁇ 120 nm), which ensures the secure welding of the coil ends or internal power supply. Ruthenium, pure or as an alloy, in particular Mo-Ru alloy, is particularly suitable here
  • the thickness of the layer which consists of at least one of the materials rhenium, chromium or ruthenium is preferably in the range of 1.5 to 3 microns for the two-sided coated welding foil.
  • the layer thickness for the single-side coated sealing film is in the range of at least 20 nm in case the welding foil is coated with Ru.
  • the sealing film can be coated be or used for the coating on one side in particular Ru become.
  • the use of a eutectic is preferred for the sealing film Mo-Ru alloy and a layer thickness in the range of 40 to 80 nm.
  • the two foils are joined together by welding (in particular resistance or laser welding).
  • the coating can be carried out by known coating methods, preferably by sputtering.
  • the oxidation resistance of the pin-foil welded joints becomes by coating the power supply lines with the same or similar coating materials that can be used for the film, elevated.
  • the electric lamps according to the invention have a lamp vessel Quartz glass or toughened glass provided with molybdenum foil feedthroughs Part of at least one pinch seal of the lamp vessel are. In the At least one pinch seal is compressed at least one molybdenum foil gas-tight.
  • FIG. 1 is a halogen incandescent lamp 1 (12V at 100 W power) with a lamp flask 2 made of quartz glass, with the help of a pinch seal 3 is sealed gas-tight.
  • a pinch seal 3 In the pinch seal of the Lamp bulbs are embedded two molybdenum foil stack 4. Inside the lamp envelope is a double-spiraled filament 5, whose simple coiled ends act as internal power supply 6.
  • the internal power supply lines are each with one of the embedded in the pinch seal molybdenum foil stack 7 welded. From the pinch seal 3 protrude two external power supply lines 8, which are connected to one of the two molybdenum foil stack are.
  • the two embedded in the pinch seal molybdenum foil stack 4 exist each of two films 10, 11.
  • the inner sealing film 11 is on one side of the page, on the inner power supply 6 is fixed with a eutectic Mo-Ru alloy 60 nm thick coated.
  • the outer welding foil 10 is pure on both sides Ru coated, the layer thickness is 2.5 microns. Both films are the same width.
  • the outer welding foil is pure on both sides Re coated with a thickness of 2.5 microns.
  • the inner sealing foil 11 is either not at all or one-sided on the side on which the inner power supply 6 is attached, coated with a eutectic Mo-Ru alloy 60 nm thick.
  • the two films 10, 11 overlap to about 10 to 40%, preferably 15 to 30 %, the area of a broad side of the welding film 10 and are in this stacking area welded together.
  • the welding film 10, whose total area is smaller than the sealing film may be, on the, possibly larger, sealing film 11th on.
  • both films 10, 11 are the same width are because it facilitates the orientation and adjustment of the films.
  • Figure 1 the dashed end of the bottom Seal made 11 marked.
  • the coil end which acts as an internal power supply 6, consists of 15 microns thick Tungsten wire, which is simply coiled. Its outer diameter is 55 ⁇ m.
  • the Spiral end and the sealing film 11 are connected by a brazing process.
  • the technique of differentiated ruthenium coating does not only allow an improved connection between foil and power supply, but also a reliable connection of the two films of the stack.
  • the production of the frame can run in accordance with Figure 2 so that initially two Welding films 10 ( Figure 2a) with a U-shaped bent wire bracket 15, as Forerunner for the two outer power supplies serves to be welded. Of the Wire bracket 15 is on top of the double-coated welding foils 10th attached. Subsequently, this frame part on two single-side coated sealing films 11, with a small overlap of about 15% of the area of Welding film 10, wherein the coated sides of the two films touch. The two sheets of the stack are different width and long. The coating is not shown separately. The overlap zone is welded. The weld is symbolically represented as reference numeral 16 ( Figure 2b). Subsequently, a frame part, consisting of internal power supply 6 and filament, on the free End of the welding foils 11 laid and soldered (Figure 2c).
