INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION FIELD The present invention relates to a sealing material for translucent alumina ceramic, and in particular to an improvement in a sealing composition used at both ends of a metal halide lamp using an alumina ceramic tube that is lit at high temperatures. Prior Art Fused quartz is used as an arc tube material for metal halide lamps. For arc tubes made of this material, the maximum allowable temperature during lighting is about 900°C, so if a material with low vapor pressure such as DyI 3 is used to emit light,
Even if one attempts to achieve high efficiency and high color rendering, it is difficult to obtain sufficient vapor pressure. For this purpose, a translucent alumina ceramic tube, which is used as an arc tube material for high-pressure sodium lamps, is used as a material that is stable against metal halides and has a higher maximum allowable temperature during lighting. This translucent alumina is
It is possible to set the maximum allowable temperature to about 1200°C, and it has high chemical stability against many halides. The ends of this translucent alumina ceramic tube are sealed using a cermet disk and a sealing material. As this sealing material, CaO−MgO−Al 2 O 3 system,
CaO−BaO−MgO−Al 2 O 3 system, Al 2 O 3 −SiO 2
B2O3 - MgO system, BeO- Al2O3 - SiO2 system, etc. are known. These sealing materials are used to seal arc tubes with high efficiency.
When the tube wall load was increased to the operating temperature required for lighting in a high color rendering state, the tube wall softened and the end caps lifted up, often leading to leaks. In addition, among these sealing material components, those containing alkaline earth metal oxides in particular react with the metal halide added to the arc tube and become alkaline earth metal halides, which are released into the discharge space and emit light. do. Therefore, the added metal halide becomes an oxide, the supply of the added metal halide into the discharge space decreases, and the efficiency and color rendering properties greatly deviate from the initial design values. As described above, many of the known sealing materials have practical problems when used in ceramic metal halide lamps. Problems to be Solved by the Invention The present invention eliminates or reduces the drawbacks of the conventional sealing materials described above, and has high halogen resistance.
The present invention provides a sealing material that has a high softening point, good wetting properties, does not contain air bubbles, and is capable of uniform sealing with high adhesive strength. Means for solving the problem Sealing materials for ceramic metal halide lamps must satisfy the following conditions. First, the airtightness is maintained even when the lamp is on.
It provides a strong seal with high mechanical strength, uses low vapor pressure sealant components that reduce the ingress of impurities into the discharge space, and is highly effective against alumina ceramic tubes and cermet disks. It has good wetting properties and melts at 1300 to 1450℃, the coefficient of linear expansion of the sealing material is not significantly different from that of the alumina ceramic tube and cermet disk, and it is free from additives in the arc tube such as metal halides and It is necessary that it does not react with the constituent materials of the arc tube during lighting. Results of experiments to satisfy the above conditions
It was found that a Dy 2 O 3 -Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 -B 2 O 3 based sealant composition has good sealing properties. Moreover , Dy2O3 - Al2O3 - SiO2 - B2O3 according to the present invention
The composition range of the four-component system is as follows. Dy2O3 : 40-85 % by weight Al2O3 : 5-50% by weight SiO2 : 5-50% by weight B2O3 : 2-25% by weight Here , the amount of Dy2O3 is 85% by weight . % or more, the vitrification reaction temperature will rise and the sealing work will become difficult. When Al 2 O 3 is increased to 50% by weight or more, a similar problem occurs and a large number of bubbles are generated. If the SiO 2 content is 50% by weight or more, the vitrification reaction temperature increases as described above, and cracks occur, leading to leakage. If the B 2 O 3 content exceeds 25% by weight, the softening point of the sealing material will be lowered, causing the disk to rise during lighting of the arc tube and causing leakage. Also,
If S 2 O 3 is not added, the vitrification reaction temperature will rise, and furthermore, the wetting properties will deteriorate and a large number of bubbles will be generated, making sealing impossible. Therefore, if the above-mentioned oxide components are appropriately blended within the above-mentioned composition range, it is possible to obtain a material with high airtightness and a high softening point, whose linear expansion coefficient appropriately matches that of alumina ceramics and cermet disks, which have excellent halogen resistance. A good seal can be obtained. Examples Next, examples according to the present invention will be described. After mechanically mixing the respective oxide components having the composition shown in Table 1, they are mixed with an organic binder and formed into a suitably sized washer or small disk. This molded sealing material is placed between the end of the alumina ceramic tube and the end cap, and the sealed portion is heated to 1400 to 1500°C in vacuum or in a rare gas. Seal the parts. In each of the examples in Table 1, although there are some differences in the vitrification reaction temperature, viscosity at the time of melting, etc., all sealing materials have good airtightness, and the sealing state does not pose any practical problem. It was hot.

[Table] In this way, we created a metal halide lamp using a translucent alumina ceramic tube with DyI 3 , TlI, Hg, and Dy sealed inside the tube, and it was lit for a long time (1000 hours), but there was no leakage. There was also little change in luminescent properties. Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above description, the sealing composition according to the present invention has high halogen resistance, a high softening point, good wetting properties, no bubbles, and high adhesive strength and uniformity. It has advantages such as being able to be sealed.
