Abstract:
A low-pressure gas discharge lamp in which thin-structured bodies are present in the discharge space for increasing the radiation output per unit volume.
Abstract:
A method of producing a low-pressure gas discharge lamp in which a body of a solid material having a thin, structure of filaments permeable to the gas discharge such as glass wool is disposed. Coherence is given to the filaments by compressing them whereafter they are sucked into the lamp envelope. Compressing, knitting together and producing the wire-shaped elements is done in a funnel-shaped space which is connected at its constricted side to the tubular discharge space.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a scandate dispenser cathode having a matrix at least the top layer of which at the surface consists substantially of tungsten (W) and scandium oxide (Sc.sub.2 O.sub.3) and with emitter material in or below said matrix. If said method comprises the following steps:(a) compressing a porous plug of tungsten powder(b) heating said plug in a non-reactive atmosphere and in contact with scandium to above the melting temperature of scandium,(c) cooling the plug in a hydrogen (H.sub.2) atmosphere(d) pulverizing the plug to fragments(e) heating said fragments to approximately 800.degree. C. and firing them at this temperature for a few to a few tens of minutes in a hydrogen atmosphere and slowly cooling in said hydrogen atmosphere(f) grinding the fragments to scandium hydride-tungsten powder (ScH.sub.2 /W)(g) compressing a matrix or a top layer on a matrix of pure tungsten from said ScH.sub.2 /W powder or from a mixture of this powder with tungsten powder(h) sintering and cooling the said matrix(i) bringing emissive material into the cathode, a scandate dispenser cathode is obtained the recovery of which after ion bombardment occurs better than in cathodes having Sc.sub.2 O.sub.3 grains. The scandium is also distributed more homogeneously in the cathode than in cathodes having Sc.sub.2 O.sub.3 grains.

Abstract:
A low pressure gas discharge lamp having a body present in the discharge vessel which consists of a longitudinal support which extends into the longitudinal direction of the vessel, the support being provided with fibers which are distributed over the space within the discharge vessel and extend substantially transversely from the support.
Abstract:
A method of producing low-pressure gas discharge lamps wherein filamenting wool is prepared into a mat and then brought into the discharge space.
Abstract:
Method of manufacturing a dispenser cathode, in which method tungsten and a scandium-containing material are mechanically alloyed and the product thus formed is pressed into a cathode body. The cathode body is further provided with a barium-containing component. In the mechanical alloying process the tungsten is highly deformed and the scandium-containing material is mixed with the tungsten so as to be very finely distributed therein, so that an improved dispensation of scandium and hence an improved recovery after ion bombardment of the final cathode is attained.
Abstract:
Low-pressure discharge lamp having an elongate discharge vessel which contains a thinly distributed filamentary body permeable to the gas discharge, said body comprising a helical support filament which is supported by the inner surface of the discharge vessel and is at least one further filament, supported by the support filament and extending therefrom towards the axis fo the discharge vessel.
Abstract:
A cathode having a matrix body (1) impregnated with an alkaline earth compound, whose surface is provided with a top coat (2, 3, 4) comprising a high melting point metal, such as particularly tungsten, and scandium. A high emission at a low operating temperature and simultaneously a rapid recuperation after ion bombardment as well as a long lifetime are achieved in that the top coat comprises at least two layers of different composition, with a purely metallic layer (5, 6, 7) being provided on the impregnated matrix body (1), which layer comprises scandium and a high melting point metal such as particularly tungsten and/or rhenium, and in that a metallic layer of a high melting point metal such as particularly tungsten is provided as a sealing layer.
