  • the invention is concerned with the provision of protective coatings on internal surfaces of such lamps.
  • discharge lamp have gas fills containing gases or vapours which are reactive or potentially reactive with materials commonly used for lamp envelopes and the internal components of the lamps.
  • gases or vapours which are reactive or potentially reactive with materials commonly used for lamp envelopes and the internal components of the lamps.
  • metal halide discharge lamps and metal vapour discharge lamps containing the vapours of reactive metals, such as sodium.
  • the radiation is produced by an electric are between two primary electrodes extending into an envelope, or are tube, containing mercury and one or more metallic halides which are at least partially vaporised and dissociated by the heat of the arc during operation of the lamp.
  • the envelope is commonly constructed of vitreous fused silica, although sometimes another transparent or translucent glass, ceramic or crystalline material is used.
  • attack by reactive fill substance on portions of the structure of a discharge lamp or device is reduced or prevented by providing, on at least those portions of the internal surface of the discharge envelope or the exposed surfaces of internal components which tend to react with the fill, a coating of a metal phosphate or arsenate glass.
  • the surfaces to be covered will usually include the internal surfaces of the envelope and the electrode supports.
  • ex ternal surfaces of the arc tube or components thereof may also be protected by a coating of metal phosphate or arscnate glass and thereby preserved from attack by gases or vapours in the outer envelope.
  • the protective coatings provided in accordance with this invention may be applied to conventional materials used for the fabrication of lamp components, for example to protect them from highly reactive fill substances, or they may enable cheaper and more readily available materials to be substituted for conventionally used materials without unacceptable loss in performance or life.
  • the coating is preferably derived from an aluminum phosphate complex as described in German Offenlegungschrift (DOS) No. 2,028,839 (British Pat. Nos. 1,322,722 and l,322,724), one or more of the metal phosphate or arsenate compositions prepared in accordance with DOS No. 2,235.65 l or from a composition comprising an aluminium phosphate and containing a titanium compound prepared in accordance with DOS No. 2,331,954.

  • the metal compound may itself be a phosphate and so provide the oxyacid of phosphorus or arsenic, in which case an additional acid may be required to form a homogeneous solution, e.g. hydrochloric or nitric acid.
  • a wide range of metal compounds may be used. Sim ple inorganic compounds including oxides and hydroxides are suitable, as are salts such as halides, carbonates, nitrates, phosphates. perchlorates and cyanates. Sulphates may be used in some cases but they can be 3 disadvantageous owing to the difficult with which they are thermally decomposed.
  • salts of organic acids such as acetates. benzoates. oxalates. propionatcs or formates. Alkoxides are also useful.
  • co-ordination complexes of the metal may be used, for example complexes having ligands derived from acetylacetone. ethylenedithiol. ethanolamine, carbon monoxide or phosphines.

  • Iron. chromium, vanadium titanium and tin phosphate-containing coatings may be prepared by dissolving a salt, preferably a halide, in an alcohol and adding phosphoric acid or a source thereof.
  • the glass layer should be free from pin-holes or other defect or imperfection which might cause it to break down during operation of the lamp.
  • the desired portions of the internal surface of the envelope and the surfaces of internal components which are exposed in the finished lamp are coated either separately or after assembly with a liquid composition capable of generating the desired metal phosphate or use nate. and subsequently heated to evaporate the solvent and cure the composition to form a defect-free metal phosphate or arsenate coating. It has been found valuable in the production of defectfree coatings to allow the applied liquid coating composition to drain thoroughly and thereafter to bake initially at a relatively low temperature to remove the solvent and subsequently at a controlled higher temperature to complete the formation of the protective coating. The preferred baking temperatures vary with the particular composition of coating material employed, but can be determined by experiment.

  • An additional auxiliary electrode 16 may be sealed through one end of the tube 10 for starting purposes.
  • An are tube of this kind is normally sealed in an outer glass jacket (not shown) which is either evacuated or filled with an inactive gas, and which may be coated with a phosphor.
  • Lamps of this type are commonly designated MB] or MBIF lamps.
  • Other lamps of this construction contain the halides of aluminium or tin, and are commonly referred to as molecular arc lamps.
  • the form of lamp shown in FIG. 2 may contain the halides of sodium, gallium, thallium and mercury, together with metallic mercury and a rare gas such as xenon. These lamps are very compact and operate at a higher pressure than those of FIG. I. They are not normally operated in an outer envelope (although they may sometimes be) and are commonly designated Compact Source lamps, or CSI lamps.
  • Theform of lamp shown in FIG. 3 has a longer and narrower arc tube than those of FIG. I, and is designed to operate without an hermetically sealed outer jacket, but usually in a special closed fitting.
  • These lamps may contain similar halide mixtures to those used in the type of lamp shown in FIG. I, but other versions intended for photochemical and other special purposes contain other halides, such as the iodides of gallium, indium or bismuth. Lamps of this type are commonly designated MBIL lamps.
  • FIG. 4 a further type of arc tube 10 which is made of a translucent ceramic material, such as alumina, or a transparent crystalline material, such as crystalline alumina or sapphire, and in which electrodes ll are sealed, either through metallic caps 17 or ceramic plugs sealed to the ends.
  • the metallic caps are often of niobium or a niobium alloy, which is particularly reactive with metallic halide compounds.
  • Lamps of this type frequently contain highly reactive metallic elements, such as sodium or the other alkali metals, which cannot be used in arc tubes constructed of vitreous silica or most glasses.
  • the arc tubes of these lamps are commonly fitted within outer jackets.
  • Such interactions with the lamp components are not limited to normal chemical reactions with the halides in their solid, liquid or gaseous forms.
  • the presence of the discharge and the associated electric fields permits a much wider range of interaction, erosion or attack, involving the products of dissociation of the compounds, and excited or ionized species derived from them.
  • Electrolytic processes may produce further reactions, and may increase the rate of which some of the interactions occur.
  • impurity gases or vapours commonly present in lamp envelopes such as water vapour or oxygen may give rise to still further reactions, and enhance the rate of others. Traces of such impurities are commonly left in the gaseous filling during processing, or are introduced with the halides, or may be released from the various components by the action of the discharge.
  • oxygen-containing impurities in lamps containing aluminium trichloride can in some circumstances produce chlorine by the reaction:
  • the present invention can be utilized to prevent, control or reduce the incidence of, deleterious interactions of these kinds between the metallic or halide contents and the components of the lamp in contact with them, by coating the surfaces in contact with the metals or halides with a protective layer of metal phosphate or arsenate glass composition which is resistant to interactions of these kinds.
  • the surfaces to be protected usually include the internal surface of the envelope and the exposed surfaces of the electrode leads or supports, and metal end caps when present, together with, when possible, the regions where different components join.
  • the active surface of the electrodes will not normally be covered. Such surface coatings are shown as coatings 16 in the figures.
  • the metallic caps 17 of lamps of the type shown in FIG. 4 are susceptible to reaction with impurity gases or vapours such as water vapour or oxygen in the surrounding outer jacket.
  • the leads adjacent to the arc tube in lamps of the type shown in FIG. 3 are liable to reaction with the sur rounding air in the fitting. Both these may be protected by external coatings of this type.
  • the protective layer should be effectively free from pinholes or other defects or imperfections which will cause it to break down during operation of the lamp, although a substantial degree of protection, and consequent improvement in lamp quality may be obtained in some cases when such perfection is not fully achieved.
  • the coating In a preferred method of providing the coating, it is applied to the whole of the interior of the arc tube after the components have been substantially assembled. This has the advantage that the regions where the components join, which are often particularly susceptible to attack, are fully coated.
  • the active areas of the electrodes may also be coated in this process, but the coating on these will normally be removed when the arc is first struck, or the lamps first operated.
  • the protective coating may alternatively be applied by coating the components individually before assembly. This method might be used, for example, where it is essential that the active surface of the electrode is not brought into contact with the coating material or any products of reaction associated with it, or it might be used when required by a particular manufacturing technique.
  • the coating can be applied by filling, injecting or spraying the inside of the arc tube with the complex or a solution of the complex and subsequently removing or draining any surplus, or it can be applied to the individual components by any of the methods described in DOS No. 2,235,651.
