- This invention relates to the preparation of doped tungsten for use in the fabrication of lamp filaments and, more particularly, the preparation of doped tungsten powder by chemical vapor deposition.
- Chemical vapor deposition as used herein is a chemical reaction between gases, as opposed to the thermal decomposition of a tungsten halide which occurs in the wellknown tungsten-halogen cycle to deposit tungsten on a lamp filament.
- the decomposition in the tungstenhalogen cycle is described in US. Pat. No. 2,883,571 issued to Fridrich et al. on Apr. 21, 1959.
- Doped tungsten is normally fabricated by a power metallurgy process. In this process the tungsten ore is converted to a purified oxide in powdered form. The powdered tungsten oxide is doped with small amounts of K, Al, and Si compounds and then reduced to tungsten metal powder. The mixture of powders is then compacted and sintered into a high density mass or sintered ingot. The ingot is then swagged down, typically by many steps each of which successively reduce the cross-sectional area. The material is then further reduced by drawing, again typically through a series of successive reductions.
- the working of the doped tungsten by swagging and later by drawing, distributes the dopant particles somewhat more evenly and thereby reduces offsetting and sagging of the wire when used as a filament. Even if conventional wire is heavily worked, however, the dopants are not distributed in the tungsten in a homogeneous manner. Even after heavy working, the remaining nonhomogeneity of the wire renders it more likely to fail either by offsetting or by sagging, or by formation of hot spots, leading to failure by localized melting.
- the process of this invention produces tungsten metal powder directly and eliminates the conventional step of reduction of the tungsten oxide. This process also provides a very homogeneous doped tungsten which is less likely to fail by offsetting, sagging, or by hot spot'formation and which requires less working of the wire to provide lamp filament quality wire.
- This invention provides an improved method of preparing doped tungsten powder for use in lamp filament wire wherein: hydrogen is introduced into a deposition chamber; tungsten-halide gas is introduced into the deposition chamber; the tungsten-halide gas is heated to at least 450 C to react the tungsten-halide with the hydrogen and cause the tungsten constituent of the tungsten-halide gas to precipitate out as particles of tungsten powder; simultaneously a predetermined concentration of gas comprising at least the metallic constituents of a preselected dopant is introduced into the deposition chamber thereby causing the dopant to be included in the particles of tungsten powder in a ratio of dopant to tungsten of l-500 ppm; and the hydrogen, the tungsten-halide gas, and the gas comprising the metallic constituents of the dopant are continually introduced until a predetermined quantity of precipitated tungsten powder has been obtained.

Taylor, and owned by the present assignee, isdisclosed a method of preparing tungsten, molybdenum, or zirconium members by a chemical vapor deposition process wherein the unitary member is produced by a continuous process and/or a process where tungsten and dopant are simultaneously or alternately deposited on the member.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to the preparation of doped tungsten for use in the fabrication of lamp filaments and, more particularly, the preparation of doped tungsten powder by chemical vapor deposition.
Chemical vapor deposition as used herein, is a chemical reaction between gases, as opposed to the thermal decomposition of a tungsten halide which occurs in the wellknown tungsten-halogen cycle to deposit tungsten on a lamp filament. The decomposition in the tungstenhalogen cycle is described in US. Pat. No. 2,883,571 issued to Fridrich et al. on Apr. 21, 1959.
Doped tungsten is normally fabricated by a power metallurgy process. In this process the tungsten ore is converted to a purified oxide in powdered form. The powdered tungsten oxide is doped with small amounts of K, Al, and Si compounds and then reduced to tungsten metal powder. The mixture of powders is then compacted and sintered into a high density mass or sintered ingot. The ingot is then swagged down, typically by many steps each of which successively reduce the cross-sectional area. The material is then further reduced by drawing, again typically through a series of successive reductions. The working of the doped tungsten, by swagging and later by drawing, distributes the dopant particles somewhat more evenly and thereby reduces offsetting and sagging of the wire when used as a filament. Even if conventional wire is heavily worked, however, the dopants are not distributed in the tungsten in a homogeneous manner. Even after heavy working, the remaining nonhomogeneity of the wire renders it more likely to fail either by offsetting or by sagging, or by formation of hot spots, leading to failure by localized melting.
The process of this invention produces tungsten metal powder directly and eliminates the conventional step of reduction of the tungsten oxide. This process also provides a very homogeneous doped tungsten which is less likely to fail by offsetting, sagging, or by hot spot'formation and which requires less working of the wire to provide lamp filament quality wire.
In US. Pat. No. 3,510,291 dated May 5, 1970, one process is disclosed by which undoped tungsten metal powder is formed from an aqueous solution of ammoniated tungsten compound by atomizing the solution into a chamber with a hydrogen atmosphere maintained at least 750 C, and a second process is disclosed by which tungsten oxide powders may be formed. To provide filament quality wire, by either of the processes of the aforementioned patent, dopant powders have to be mixed with the resulting tungsten powder.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention provides an improved method of preparing doped tungsten powder for use in lamp filament wire wherein: hydrogen is introduced into a deposition chamber; tungsten-halide gas is introduced into the deposition chamber; the tungsten-halide gas is heated to at least 450 C to react the tungsten-halide with the hydrogen and cause the tungsten constituent of the tungsten-halide gas to precipitate out as particles of tungsten powder; simultaneously a predetermined concentration of gas comprising at least the metallic constituents of a preselected dopant is introduced into the deposition chamber thereby causing the dopant to be included in the particles of tungsten powder in a ratio of dopant to tungsten of l-500 ppm; and the hydrogen, the tungsten-halide gas, and the gas comprising the metallic constituents of the dopant are continually introduced until a predetermined quantity of precipitated tungsten powder has been obtained.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS For a better understanding of the invention, reference may be had to the preferred embodiment, exemplary of the invention, shown in the accompanying .drawing in which: 1
FIG. 1 is a flow chart illustrating the method steps used to prepare doped tungsten powder for use in the fabrication of lamp filaments.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating the configuration of the preferred system wherein an electric spark is used to initiate the halide-hydrogen reaction.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS With reference to FIG. 1 there is shown a flow chart of the method steps used to produce filament quality tungsten powder in accordance with this invention. Hydrogen is introduced into a deposition chamber. Tungsten-halide gas is also introduced into the deposition chamber. The quantities of H and halide are selected so that the mol ratio of H to halide is at least 3. The tungsten-halide gas is then heated to at least 450 C to react the halide with the hydrogen and cause the precipitation of particles of tungsten powder. Tungsten may be deposited from a halide or an oxyhalide. The use of the oxyhalide provides water vapor as one of the reaction products and is one method of providing the water vapor which is used in some of the doping reactions. The following equations are examples of some of the reactions which may be used to precipitate particles of tungsten powder:
The gas comprising the metallic constituents of the dopants is simultaneously introduced such that dopant is included inthe particles of tungsten powder. The following equations describe reactions which individually or in combination may be used to deposit dopant:
ZrCl 21-1 ZrO 4HCl ThCl 21-1 0 Th0: 4l-ICl ZAIC]; 31-1 0 Al O 6I-IC1 SiCl, 21-1 0 SiO 4HCl The following reactions may also directly or indirectly occur:
K(vapor) K(dissolved in tungsten) 1((vapor) I'ICl KCl (in tungsten) AH,
2KC1+ 11,0 K 0 21-1Cl The exact reaction when potassium is introduced either in the form of KCl, or K(vapor) is not known but analysis of the resulting tungsten has shown that potassiumdoped tungsten has been produced when either KCl or 1((vapor) was introduced. Sodium or lithium can be introduced in a manner similar to potassium. For doped tungsten deposition the pressure in the chamber is maintained at about 5-800 torrs. In order to prevent condensation of any of the gases used, the chamber is maintained at at least 300 C when AlCl or SiCl is used, and is maintained at at least 100 C when any other dopants described herein are .used without AlCl or SiCl,. Hydrogen gas, tungsten-halide gas, and the gas comprising the metallic constituents of the dopants can be continually introduced to continue the production of precipitated doped tungsten powder.
With reference to FIG. '2, there is shown a deposition chamber in which precipitated doped tungsten power 12 is produced by the preferred method of this invention. The .flow of gas from'the H source 14 iscontrolled to a preselectedflow rate by a first valve 16, the
flow of gas from the source of tungsten-halide gas 18 is controlled to a preselected flow rate by a second valve 20, and the flow of gasfrom the source of gas comprising at least the metallic constituents of the dopant 22 is controlled to a preselectedflow rate by a third valve 24. These preselected flow rates provide predetermined concentrations of the gases and maintain a mo] ratio of H, to halide of preferably 10-20 in the ,decomposition chamber 10.
The halide-hydrogen reaction is'initiated by a spark generated by an electric spark means 26.'Be'cause the reaction of the tungsten halide and hydrogen is highly exothermic, it is not necessary to continue to supply heat from an external source once the reaction has begun.
The halide-hydrogenreaction maybe initiated as an alternative to the electric spark means 26, by other means such as by'a heated filamentor by preheating one of the gases to over450 C.
The following specific examples will describe in greater detail various combinations which are possible using this method:

EXAMPLE II A deposition rate of about 66.5 grams per hour of tungsten powder doped with thoria is obtained as follows: a chamber temperature of approximately C, a chamber pressure of 20 torrs, a flow rate of hydrogen of 7,150 scc per minute, a flow rate of water vapor of 10 sec per minute, a flow rate of WF of 2 grams per minute, and a flow rate of ThCl, as produced by sec per minute of helium flowing through a canister containing ThCl at F and at one atmosphere.
