As a conventional method of producing metal tungsten for an electrode, a tungsten powder is produced by refining or reducing an ore or an intermediate product, and the tungsten powder is subjected to a press such as a hydraulic press or a hydrostatic press. Thus, a green compact is manufactured, and after that, if necessary, after preliminary sintering, sintering is performed in a hydrogen atmosphere by a direct current method or an indirect heating method. Since the sintered body produced in this way still has pores inside and the specific gravity has not reached the theoretical specific gravity, it is subjected to hot forging, hot rolling, hot rolling, etc., and has a sufficient specific gravity. After being raised, it is shaped as an electrode by cutting, polishing, or the like, and then heat-treated in a vacuum to remove residual gas components therein, and is used by being incorporated inside a discharge lamp or the like.

And The tungsten anode 3 and the tungsten cathode 5 are supported on electrode supports 4 and 6, respectively.
A sealing gas 7 is sealed in the quartz sealing tube 2. When a voltage is applied between the tungsten anode 3 and the tungsten cathode 5 of the discharge lamp 1 having the configuration shown in FIG. 1, a discharge occurs in which electrons are emitted from the tungsten cathode 5 toward the tungsten anode 3, and the internal gas is excited by the discharge.

In general, in this high temperature state, it is known that tungsten constituting a plastically processed conventional tungsten anode undergoes recrystallization. Specifically, the discharge from the tungsten cathode 5 concentrates at the grain boundaries of the tungsten anode, but in the conventional tungsten anode coarsened by recrystallization, the total extension distance of the grain boundaries is short and the discharge density per unit length is small. As a result, tungsten partially evaporates and adheres to the inner surface of the glass, causing a blackening phenomenon to extend the life.
