Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the high temperature characteristic by encapsulating the amalgam where the mercury is contained in the basic alloy composed of bismuth and tin in a bulb. CONSTITUTION:The amalgam where the mercury is contained in the basic alloy composed of bismuth and tin is encapsulated in a bulb. The weight ratio between the basic alloy and mercury in the amalgam is in the range from 0.85: 0.15 to 0.995:0.005 while the weight ratio between the bismuth and tin in the basic alloy is in the rage from 36:64 to 61:39. The curve A will show the amalgam where 0.1wt% of mercury is contained in an alloy composed of 36wt% of bismuth and 64wt% of tin while the curve B will show the amalgam where 0.1wt% of mercury is contained in an alloy composed of 49wt% of bismuth and 51wt% of tin and the curve C will show the amalgam wher 0.1wt% of mercury is contained in an alloy composed of 61wt% of bismuth and 39wt% of tin while the curve D will show the vapor pressure curve of pure mercury. The mercury vapor pressure of three kind of amalgam under the low temperature is near to that of the pure mercury, while the mercury vapor pressure under the high temperature is ballanced near to 6X10<-3>mm.Hg.

Next, we investigated the relationship between temperature and mercury vapor pressure for pure mercury and amalgam. The results are shown in the figure. In the figure, the horizontal axis shows the ambient temperature in °C, and the vertical axis shows the mercury vapor pressure in ■H.
It is taken in units of g, and the curve ll4A) is bismuth 36
KO01 is an amalgam containing 0.1 weight of mercury in an alloy consisting of 49 weight of bismuth and 51 weight of tin. , curve q is an amalgam impregnated with mercury containing 61% by weight of bismuth and 39% by weight of tin, and curve (2) is the vapor pressure of pure mercury, l1m1.
Indicates m. It is clear from this figure that the mercury vapor pressure of all the 93 types of amalgams mentioned above at low temperatures is close to that of pure mercury, and the mercury vapor pressure at 1 & 1 is 6 x 1.
It can be seen that equilibrium is maintained near 0''-31111Hg.There is no problem even if the composition ratio of the base alloy changes slightly from the eutectic composition ratio, and specifically, the ratio of bismuth to tin and the weight ratio If the ratio is within the range of 36:64 to 61:39, the above-mentioned vapor pressure near 6 x 10-'' III Hg can be sufficiently satisfied, and the high-temperature characteristics of the lamp can be improved.
