ける陰極には通常2重量係以下の酸化トリウムを含有し
たトリエテツドタングステン材料が用いられている。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an electrode material for a discharge lamp such as a xenon short arc lamp. A tungsten material is used.
従来からキセノンショートアークランプの欠点として点
灯時間の経過とともにアークのゆらぎが大きくなり、精
密な点光源として不都合になる現象があった。Conventionally, a drawback of xenon short arc lamps has been that as the lighting time elapses, arc fluctuations increase, making them inconvenient as precision point light sources.
この現象は通常アーク不安定とよばれているものである
。This phenomenon is commonly called arc instability.
この誘因は陰極先端でのタングステン結晶の粗大化のた
めトリウムの供給が不足し不安定になるためと考えられ
る。This is thought to be caused by the coarsening of the tungsten crystal at the cathode tip, resulting in insufficient thorium supply and instability.
このアーク不安定を防止するためには微少なタングステ
ン結晶組織が高温で再結晶を起さないようにすることが
重要であると考えられる。In order to prevent this arc instability, it is considered important to prevent the minute tungsten crystal structure from recrystallizing at high temperatures.

鍛造後のタングステン棒の結晶組織がアーク不安定現象
と強く関係することがわかった。Based on this idea, we investigated tungsten powder, its processing conditions, forging conditions, and thorium oxide content, and found that when high-purity tungsten powder is made into a triated tungsten rod using the normal method, the thorium oxide content and after forging It was found that the crystal structure of the tungsten rod is strongly related to the arc instability phenomenon.
このことから酸化トリウム含有量および結晶組織とアー
ク安定度との関係を求め次の様に決めた。From this, the relationship between the thorium oxide content, crystal structure, and arc stability was determined as follows.
酸化トリウム含有量は重量ダで表わし、結晶組織はその
タングステン棒の軸方向の平均粒子径Lとこれに垂直な
平均粒子径Wを結晶組織写真より測定しその比L/Wで
表わす。The thorium oxide content is expressed in terms of weight, and the crystal structure is expressed as the ratio L/W of the average particle diameter L in the axial direction of the tungsten rod and the average particle diameter W perpendicular thereto, measured from a crystal structure photograph.
これらの実施例として第1表に酸化トリウム含有量2重

たキセノンショートアークランプの時間とアーク安定度
の関係を示す。As examples of these, Table 1 shows the relationship between time and arc stability of xenon short arc lamps using triated tungsten materials containing 2 weight thorium oxide and 4 weight thorium oxide.
また、第2表にトリエテツドタングステン材料のL/W

アーク安定度の関係を示す。Table 2 also shows the L/W of triated tungsten materials.
The relationship between the arc stability and the arc stability of a xenon short arc lamp after 700 hours of operation is shown.

投影像の中心部に入れスリットを通過する光強度のゆら
ぎをS(%)=[ ( Imax−Imm)/ Ima
x ]X 1 0 0(%)で表わしたものである。Arc stability S is calculated by projecting an arc and placing a thin slit in the center of the arc projection image, and calculating the fluctuation of the light intensity passing through the slit as S (%) = [ (Imax - Imm) / Ima
x ]X 100 (%).
ここでImaxは最大光強度、■間は最小光強度である
。Here, Imax is the maximum light intensity, and the space between ■ is the minimum light intensity.

パッタリングにより放電灯バルブ内面が黒化する現像が
出てくる。The arc stability standard is 7 or less after 700 hours of lighting.Thorium oxide content is 2 weight φ and triated tungsten material with L/W of 5 or more is the conventional product, and thorium oxide content is 3 to 5 weight φ. The triated tungsten material according to the present invention has an L/W of 3 or less, and if the thorium oxide content is 3 weight φ or less, the arc stability will not be sufficient, and if it exceeds 5 weight As shown, the inner surface of the discharge lamp bulb becomes black due to sputtering of the electrode material.
黒化度はO〜7までの8段階あり、0は透明、7は黒色
と判別した。There are eight levels of blackness from 0 to 7, with 0 being transparent and 7 being black.
規準は1000時間での黒化度が4.0以下とする。The standard is that the degree of blackening in 1000 hours is 4.0 or less.
