Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce fluctuation of discharge starting voltage by impregnating with aqueous solution of electron emission material then heating the sintered member under vacuum to remove water and drying. CONSTITUTION:Tungsten-nickel sintered material is impregnated with aqueous solution containing 10% cesium carbonate then placed in vacuum chamber to perform evacuation and upon achieving vacuum of 10<-5>Torr, heating is started. Then heating is controlled to produce pressure lower than 10<-3>Torr with the maximum heating temperature of 150 deg.C. With this temperature, heating is continued to recover pre-heating vacuum condition or 10<-5>Torr pressure, to produce a sintered cathode. Consequently, fluctuation of discharge starting voltage is reduced while discharge starting voltage itself is lowered.

First, a tungsten-nickel sintered body having an outer diameter of 1.611 mm and a length of 3.2 mm is impregnated with an aqueous solution containing 10 mm of cesium carbonate. Next, this sintered body is placed in a vacuum chamber and evacuated to a vacuum degree of 10-5'T.
After reaching the orr stage, heating is started.

When heating is started, the degree of vacuum decreases because moisture leaves the inside of the sintered body, so heating is controlled so that the pressure is 10-3 Torr or less. Maximum heating temperature 160'
C, and at this temperature the degree of vacuum is the state before heating, that is, 1
If heating is continued until the temperature returns to the 0 Torr level, a sintered cathode is obtained.

The sintered cathode thus obtained was incorporated into a glass tube together with a pin-shaped anode to produce 24 xenon discharge lamps (products of the present invention), and an aging (forced lighting) test was conducted.

Table 2 As is clear from Tables 1 and 2, the product of the present invention has smaller variations in discharge starting voltage before and after aging than the conventional product, and has a lower discharge starting voltage, resulting in stable characteristics. I know that there is. This is because in the case of the conventional method, the residual moisture varies during drying, which increases the dispersion of the discharge starting voltage, and this residual moisture has a harmful effect on the sintered cathode, which has a large amount of residual moisture.
This leads to an increase in the discharge starting voltage, whereas in the case of the method of the present invention, moisture is sufficiently removed during drying of any sintered cathode, and as a result, the above-mentioned problem can be solved. considered to be a thing.
