By the way, the electrodes of the high pressure discharge lamp are used under the condition that the current density is high and the tip of the electrode becomes extremely hot, so that the tip is easily worn. When the tip of the electrode is consumed, the lighting voltage fluctuates and the arc bright spot moves. Therefore, the arc becomes unstable.

The consumption of the electrode tip is affected by the vapor pressure of the emitter and the reactivity with tungsten, but the consumption is suppressed by using an emitter having a low vapor pressure and reacting well with tungsten. be able to. Therefore, the characteristics of the emitter itself are important, and the emitter must be constantly and smoothly supplied to the electrode tip. For this purpose, it is necessary that the emitter dispersed in the tungsten rod be elongated in the axial direction of the tungsten rod when the electrode is formed by the tungsten rod that has undergone a processing step such as swaging and heat treatment is performed. That is, the emitter is required to have a large surface area and a shape that facilitates diffusion.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the present invention obtained as described above, showing a state in which a tungsten crystal is elongated in the axial direction and the emitter particles are dispersed between the crystals. As described above, the emitter particles satisfy the relationship of L / W ≧ 2 and W ≦ 10 μm, where L is the average particle size in the axial direction and W is the average particle size in the direction perpendicular to the axis. It has an extremely small and elongated shape. For this reason, the emitter particles have a large surface area and are easily reduced, and easily move in the axial direction between the tungsten crystal grain boundaries, and even if the emitter at the electrode tip is consumed during lighting, the emitter existing behind is constantly It can be smoothly supplied to the electrode tip. Even with the same rare earth element, when the same treatment was performed by dispersing an oxide of lanthanum (La), it was not possible to satisfy L / W ≧ 2 and W ≦ 10 μm. Therefore, the supply to the electrode tip is insufficient.

The emitter of this structure must be present in the electrode 1 in a region of at least 10% in the direction perpendicular to the central axis of the electrode 1. This is because the flat portion 4 at the tip of the electrode has a diameter within 10% of the electrode diameter, and the emitter is directly supplied to the region from the inside of the electrode through the grain boundary, so that the direction perpendicular to the axis from the central axis of the electrode This is because the area within at least 10% is important for supplying the emitter to the electrode tip.

Next, as emitters, Sm 2 O 3 and Gd 2 are used.
2 wt% each of O 3 , Nd 2 O 3 and Pr 6 O 11 is contained,
An alternating-current high-pressure mercury lamp in which an electrode was molded from a tungsten rod having a theoretical density of 98% was actually manufactured, and the fluctuation of the lamp voltage during lighting was investigated. Further, as a comparative example, a rare earth oxide containing La 2 O 3 (containing 2 wt%) and ThO 2 (containing 2 wt%), which has been used more frequently than before, was also investigated at the same time. The fluctuation of the lamp voltage is shown by the fluctuation with respect to the lamp voltage at the initial stage of lighting. The result is shown in Fig. 3. As you can see,
Examples are Sm 2 O 3 , Gd 2 O 3 , Nd 2 O 3 and Pr 6 O.
11 is that the voltage fluctuation after 100 minutes of lighting is ±
It is within the range of 1.5%. That is, it is shown that the lamp voltage is stable because the electrode tip wear is small, the movement of the bright spot is small, and the arc is stable for a long time. This is because the shape of the emitter is elongated and oxides of praseodymium, neodymium, samarium, and gadolinium have favorable characteristics for suppressing wear of the electrode tip.
On the other hand, comparative examples La 2 O 3 and ThO
No. 2 shows that the voltage fluctuation after 100 minutes of lighting is large, and the electrode tip is often consumed. The same good results can be obtained by using this electrode for a xenon short arc lamp.
