As shown in FIG. 8, a short arc type discharge lamp 1 has an arc tube 2 made of quartz glass having a central portion bulging out.
The discharge lamp 1 includes a cathode 4 and an anode 5 which are opposed to each other inside the bulging portion 3 of the arc tube. When the discharge lamp 1 is energized, the discharge lamp 1 is filled with an inert gas such as xenon. Mercury is vaporized into a plasma state,
Electrons emitted from the cathode 4 flow through the anode 5 to generate an arc between the two electrodes, so that the discharge lamp 1 is turned on.

When the lamp is turned on, the anode is heated by the collision of electrons emitted from the cathode to a high temperature, and evaporates.
exhaust. Further, when the electrodes are consumed by the collision of electrons, the evaporated tungsten adheres to the inner wall surface of the arc tube 2 and blackens the inner wall surface. If the discharge lamp is used for a long time, the tip of the anode will be consumed and the radiation intensity of the discharge lamp will gradually decrease. If the decrease exceeds the usage limit, it is necessary to replace the discharge tube with a new one.

[0005] Therefore, various measures have been studied to suppress the temperature rise of the anode, thereby increasing the consumption of the anode and the progress of the blackening of the inner wall surface of the arc tube. As a result, tantalum carbide having a large thermal emissivity was formed on the surface of the anode. Measures have been taken to sinter mixtures such as tungsten. However, in order to prevent this, since both tantalum carbide and tungsten are high-melting substances and have poor adhesion to the base material (anode), the temperature rise of the anode cannot be sufficiently suppressed. However, there is a problem in that the flakes are peeled off from the anode to promote blackening of the inner wall surface of the arc tube.

Therefore, in order to solve the above problem, the following measures have been proposed by the same inventor as the present application (for details, see Japanese Patent Application No. 7-272159). As a countermeasure, as shown in FIG. 9, a mixture of tungsten carbide (WC), tantalum carbide (TaC), and tungsten (W) is sintered on the anode part except the tip part 7 of the anode 5, for example, on the side surface of the anode. According to this measure, the adhesion between the porous layer 6 and the base material is good, so that the temperature rise of the anode can be appropriately suppressed, and the consumption of the anode and the arc tube can be suppressed. And the life of the discharge lamp was extended.

However, the above-mentioned anode structure sinters a mixture of three kinds of high-melting substances, that is, tungsten carbide, tantalum carbide and tungsten, on the surface of the anode. There is also a problem that the manufacturing process is complicated and requires a long time. In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide an anode structure of a short arc type discharge lamp which has a simple structure and can suppress the consumption of the anode and extend the life of the discharge lamp.
