Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing an electrode according to the O-berbegriff of claim 1 and a discharge lamp with such an electrode.
- Such electrodes provided with an electrode tip are used, for example, in discharge lamps.
- the process for producing electrodes consists essentially of powder metallurgy production of an electrode blank, a sintering process and the subsequent mechanical deformation of the blank to the desired electrode diameter.
- the forming of the blanks takes place for example by rolling on a multi-roll or by hammering on rotary hammers.
- the diameter of the blank is reduced with simultaneous elongation of the material.
- the billet diameter is further reduced from about 4 mm by a drawing process.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method for producing a E- lektrode or power supply and a lamp with such an electrode or power supply, in which compared to conventional solutions improved performance is possible.
- the microstructure of at least one section of the electrode is at least partially converted by means of high-energy radiation, preferably laser radiation. Due to the temperature effect of the high-energy radiation on this electrode section, the fibrous, long-crystalline structural regions combine to form compact, dense units-in other words-a defined recrystallization of the microstructure of the electrode segment takes place. This recrystallization causes a coarsely crystalline structure in the region of this electrode section. As a result, this electrode section has a microstructure and purity substantially corresponding to the operating state of the lamp.
- the aforementioned electrode section preferably comprises the discharge-side end of the electrode.
- the aforementioned microstructure of the discharge-side end of the electrode remains stable during operation of the lamp and it ensures good ignition properties and a good bow approach. This allows the electrode tip according to the invention opposite the prior art according to EP 0 858 098 B1 already at the beginning of the life of the lamp optimum ignition and good arc formation. Furthermore, a high purity of the electrode is achieved due to the influence of temperature.
- the crystal structure is consistently converted. As a result, even after prolonged operation of the discharge lamp, a defined, coarse-grain surface of the electrode section is present.
- the structure of at least a portion of the power supply by means of cryenergeti- shear radiation, preferably laser radiation, at least partially converted for example, by means of the high-energy radiation, a surface portion of the power supply is treated, for example, to evaporate adhering to the surface impurities or to smooth the surface of the power supply or to umwanwan- the crystal structure of the power supply to its surface and thereby the so-called glazing behavior of the power supply to To improve, that is, to reduce the adhesion of the power supply to the surrounding glass of the lamp vessel and thus the risk of cracking in the lamp vessel due to different thermal expansion coefficients of glass and power supply material.
- the power supply is preferably designed as a wire of molybdenum, tungsten or an alloy of molybdenum or tungsten.
- the discharge lamp according to the invention has at least one electrode and at least one power supply, the structure of at least a portion of the electrode or the power supply by means of high-energy radiation, preferably laser radiation, at least partially converted.
- an electrode section has a structure substantially corresponding to the operating state of the discharge lamp.
- this electrode section has a coarsely crystalline structure.
- this electrode section has a purity substantially corresponding to the operating state of the lamp.
- blackening in the discharge vessel is reduced to a minimum and the service life of the discharge lamp is substantially extended.
- this electrode section is produced by means of high-energy radiation, preferably laser radiation.
- the abovementioned electrode section is preferably the discharge-side end of the electrode.
- the invention is preferably applied to rod-shaped tungsten electrodes, in particular for high-pressure discharge lamps.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a discharge lamp according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 shows an enlarged illustration of an electrode from FIG. 1.
- a high-pressure discharge lamp 1 as used for example in vehicle headlights or projectors use.
- This has a discharge vessel 2 made of quartz glass with an interior 4 and two diametrically arranged, sealed end sections 6, 8, which are formed as Glaseinschmelzonne 10, 12 and each having a power supply 14 which embedded with gas-tight in the Glaseinschmelzonne 10, 12 of the discharge lamp 1 , Be as rectangular molybdenum foils 16, 18 are welded.
- two diametrically arranged, such as pin-shaped electrodes 20, 22 made of ThO 2 doped tungsten each with one of the Molybdenum foils 16, 18 are welded and between which forms a gas discharge during lamp operation.
- an ionizable filling which consists of high purity xenon gas and a plurality of metal halides.
- the electrodes 20, 22 each have a first end portion 26 embedded in the glass melt 10 or 12 as the electrode shaft 24. At a second end portion 28, the electrodes 20, 22 are provided with an electrode tip 30.
- the structure of the electrode tips 30 is at least partially converted by means of high-energy radiation.
- the high-energy radiation is introduced into the electrode tips 30 by means of a laser. Due to the temperature effect of the laser radiation on the electrode tip 30, the fibrous, long-crystalline structural regions combine to form compact, dense units-in other words-a defined recrystallization of the microstructure of the electrode tip 30 takes place.
- the recrystallization causes a relatively coarse-crystalline structure in the region of the electrode tip 30. As a result, it has a microstructure and purity substantially corresponding to the operating state of the discharge lamp 1. This structure of the electrode tip 30 remains stable during operation of the lamp 1 and has good ignition properties and an advantageous arc approach.
- the electrode tip 30 according to the invention compared to the prior art according to EP 0 858 098 B1, already at the beginning of the lamp life enables optimum ignition behavior and good arc formation. Furthermore, due to the temperature effect of the laser radiation, a high purity of the electrodes 20, 22 is achieved.
- FIG. 2 which shows an enlarged view of the electrode 20 from FIG. 1, the cylindrical electrode shaft 24 tapers frustoconically toward the electrode tip 30, the conical surface 32 of which opens into an approximately circular end face 34 on the discharge side.
- the electrode tip 30 is produced by means of the laser radiation during structural transformation and has the microstructure explained in FIG.
- the inventive electrode 20, 22 is not limited to the described shaping of the electrode tip 30 by laser radiation, but the electrode tip 30 may be formed by any known from the general state of the art forming technique, in particular by grinding, etching, hammering or the like in any geometric shapes ,
- the discharge-side end 30 of the electrodes 20, 22 may also be thickened instead of pointed.
- the inventive structure transformation of the electrode portion 30 before or after the welding of the electrode 20, 22 with the molybdenum foil 16, 18 take place.
