Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electric lamp including an envelope of quartz glass or a similar high melting-point material which is transparent to light and has a low thermal coefficient of expansion, which lamp includes at least one pinch in which at least one strip consisting of a metal foil is sealed in, at least one current conductor of metal wire being secured by means of welding to both ends of said strip, while one conductor serves as an electric contact for the lamp.
  • the foil consists of a metal having a melting point of more than l,500C so that during sealing in the foil cannot melt.
  • a metal is chosen having a low thermal coefficient of expansion.
  • the foil consists of tungsten, molybdenum or a suitable alloy of tungsten and molybdenum.
  • the construction of the pinch in question is frequently used in high-power lamps such as infrared radiators and halogen lamps in which not only the envelope but also the pinches may assume a high temperature when the lamps are operating.
  • a capillary space is substantially always formed around that part of the current conductor partially extending beyond the lamp which is present within the pinch.
  • steps have been proposed to protect the portion of the conductor extending beyond the lamp and being present within the pinch and the metal foil strip against oxidation.
  • the object of the proposed steps is either to enhance the adhesion between quartz and the metal parts or to provide the metal parts with an oxidation-protective layer.
  • the materials used for this purpose are metals or metal oxides which cannot be oxidized at the temperature of the pinch. In practice these steps were not found to be successful because it was still difficult to obtain a permanently gastight closure when using these materials.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an electric lamp in which cracking of the pinch as a result of oxidation of metal parts in the pinch does not occur or substantially does not occur.
  • FIG. 1 shows a molybdenum strip including current conductors, which strip is partially coated with SiO
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-section taken on the line II--Il of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 shows a molybdenum strip including current conductors, which strip is completely coated with SiO
  • FIG. 4 is a cross-section taken on the line IV-IV of FIG. 3 according to the invention.
  • FIG. 5 shows a cross-section of part of a halogen lamp.
  • FIG. 1 shows in a plan view a molybdenum strip 1 to which a molybdenum current conductor 2 and the end of the filament 3 are secured by means of welding. Part of the current conductor 2 and part of the molybdenum strip 1 are coatedwith a thin film 4 of SiO, which is obtained by sputtering.
  • FIG. 2 shows in a side elevational view a crosssection taken on the line II-II of FIG. 1.
  • the thickness of the film 4 is approximately 1 pm. This construction .is used if after providing the SiQ, film something else is to be secured to the molybdenum strip by means of welding.
  • FIG. 3 shows in a plan view a molybdenum strip 5 to which two current conductors 6 and 7 are secured by means of welding. Part of the conductors 6 and 7 and the strip 5 are coated with a thin film of SiO (8) which is provided by means of sputtering. After the strip 5 and the conductors 6 and 7 welded thereto are coated with Si(), the filament 9 is secured to the conductor 8.
  • FIG. 4 shows a cross-section taken on the line IV-IV of FIG. 3.
  • the thickness of the SiO, film is in this case likewise approximately 1pm.
  • the SiO, films were obtained by means of sputtering in an argon atmosphere at a pressure of approximately 2 X 10 Torr. The rate of application was approximately 250 A per minute. A voltage of several kV was applied with the aid of a highfrequency generator l kw, frequency 20 MC) between the cathode and the substrate to be coated. The parts of the molybdenum strip and the conductors secured thereto which were not to be coated with SiO, were covered with a mask.
  • FIG. 5 shows in a cross-section a part of a halogen lamp (1,000 W, Volts) whose pinch temperature during operation of the lamp may increase to approximately 400C in certain types of reflectors.
  • the thickness of the molybdenum foil 10 is approximately 35am.
  • a thin film 11 of SiO, (approximately lum thick) is provided on the molybdenum foil, which film also extends beyond the pinch over approximately 5 mms on the molybdenum conductor 12.
  • the lamp includes a spiral 13 in an atmosphere consisting of argon and a small quantity of iodine (total pressure 2.5 atmospheres). The lifetime of this lamp is approximately 2,000 hours.
  • said strip one conductor serving as an electric contact 4.
  • said thin for the lamp wherein the improvement comprises that film of SiO forms a coating over the entire metal foil a thin film of SiO, forms a coating over the portion of 1() strip and the ends of the conductors. the contact serving current conductor which is located
