Embodiment
Reach technological means and the effect that predetermined goal of the invention is taked for further setting forth the present invention, below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and preferred embodiment, to its embodiment of high-pressure discharge lamp, structure, feature and the effect thereof that foundation the present invention proposes, describe in detail as after.
Relevant aforementioned and other technology contents, characteristics and effect of the present invention can clearly present in the following detailed description that cooperates with reference to graphic preferred embodiment.For convenience of description, in following embodiment, components identical is represented with identical numbering.
Below, the accompanying drawing with reference to identical or corresponding part mark there being same or analogous symbol comes the high-pressure discharge lamp of typical concrete example of the present invention is described.
In the present invention, the alumina grain growth inhibitor is in the process of the sealing reservations heating and melting of the path tube portion that makes no sintering sealing, can suppress the easy growth of alumina grain and become big composition, and this alumina grain growth inhibitor is comprised in the inside of formed fusing department.And, as the alumina grain growth inhibitor, use at least a of refractory metal and metal oxide.
Secondly, the refractory metal in the alumina grain growth inhibitor is described.Refractory metal diffuses to the inside of fusing department.And,, use from tantalum Ta, niobium Nb, molybdenum Mo and tungsten W and comprise select the group of at least a kind alloy of these metals at least a as refractory metal.
In order to make the inside that diffuses to fusing department as the refractory metal of alumina grain growth inhibitor, preferably on the outer surface of the sealing reservations of path tube portion, before heating, be pre-formed the refractory metal lining.Like this, can in the heating and melting process of sealing, make the refractory metal lining diffuse to the inside of fusing department.
By the outer surface configuration refractory metal lining in the sealing reservations of aluminium oxide ceramics, when the sealing reservations are heated, the refractory metal lining also will be heated.Its result, refractory metal is fusion or softening by heating, and the part of this refractory metal diffuses in the aluminium oxide ceramics of the fusion that seals reservations.Then, carry out cooling curing, form the sealing of light transparent ceramic gas-tight container by fusing department to aluminium oxide ceramics.In sealing, the refractory metal of diffusion mainly enters the interface of alumina grain, to play the effect of the growth that suppresses aluminium oxide particles.
Refractory metal lining by net (mesh) body and paper tinsel any forms at least.In addition, the arrangement method of dictyosome and paper tinsel is not particularly limited.For example, the first, as the method for using dictyosome, can enumerate: the dictyosome of refractory metal is tubular and reels or be lid (cap) shape in advance and form in the sealing reservations of path tube portion, again it is installed on the method for the end of path tube portion.And, the second, as the method for using paper tinsel, can enumerate: the refractory metal paper tinsel is tubular and is wound on method on the outer peripheral face of sealing reservations of path tube portion.
Secondly, the method that lining is heated to refractory metal is described.Above-mentioned the 1st method is the outside irradiating laser (laser) from dictyosome, with to sealing aluminium oxide ceramics of reservations and the method that dictyosome heats.Heating by this method, the laser energy that is shone (laser energy) is almost all through the hole of dictyosome and the polycrystalline alumina ceramic of path tube portion, and the electric current importing conductor that is connected the inside of path tube portion absorbs, and electric current imports conductor temperature rising at first.Then, the heat of electric current importing conductor conducts to aluminium oxide ceramics then.Meanwhile, the dictyosome surface also absorbs laser energy and the temperature rising, the softening or fusion of dictyosome.Thus, aluminium oxide ceramics is heated and fusion.Then, as mentioned above, the refractory metal composition diffuses in the aluminium oxide ceramics of fusion.
In the 2nd method, come end face direct irradiation laser to path tube portion from tilted direction.In these heating means, laser is mainly by the polycrystalline alumina ceramic of direct irradiation to the end face of path tube portion, so laser sees through this polycrystalline alumina ceramic, and laser energy is absorbed by electric current importing conductor.By this laser radiation, the temperature and first method that electric current imports conductor similarly rise.Then, electric current imports the heat conduction of conductor to aluminium oxide ceramics and refractory metal paper tinsel.Its result, the aluminium oxide ceramics of sealing reservations is heated and fusion.At this moment, the softening or fusion of refractory metal paper tinsel.Then, the refractory metal composition diffuses to the aluminium oxide ceramics from the refractory metal paper tinsel.In addition, when coming irradiating laser via the refractory metal paper tinsel, the time till the fusion of aluminium oxide ceramics is with elongated.
Secondly, the situation of using the sintering aid composition to be used as the alumina grain growth inhibitor is described.The sintering aid composition that plays a role as the alumina grain growth inhibitor is present on alumina crystal grain circle of sealing.In the present invention, make the sintering aid composition be present in the aluminium oxide Al of the fusing department of sealing 2O 3Grain boundary on method be not particularly limited.For example, if elder generation is at the surface adhesion sintering aid composition of path tube portion before sealing, subsequently path tube portion is heated and make it fusion, then the sintering aid composition will mix mutually with aluminium oxide ceramics and enter the interface of alumina grain, thereby suppress the growth of alumina grain.
As the sintering aid composition, for example use magnesium oxide MgO, yittrium oxide Y 2O 3, lanthana La 2O 3, scandium oxide ScO 3And silicon oxide sio 2Deng.
And, also can use the light transmission polycrystalline alumina ceramic that contains the sintering aid composition in advance, form the sealing reservations of path tube portion.In the method, when the fusion of aluminium oxide ceramics, also can make the sintering aid composition enter the interface of alumina grain.In addition, in the method, when making the aluminium oxide ceramics fusion, a part of sintering aid becomes branch's evaporation and disappears.Therefore, the sintering aid constituent concentration of fusing department will be lower than the concentration with the sintering aid composition of other parts of fusing department adjacency, hence one can see that, and in fusing department, contained sintering aid composition has played the function of alumina grain growth inhibitor in the light transmission polycrystalline alumina ceramic.
Subsequently, cool off by fusing department and to solidify, form the sealing of light transparent ceramic gas-tight container aluminium oxide ceramics.As a result, the sintering aid composition enters the interface of alumina grain, plays the effect of alumina grain growth inhibitor thus, and suppresses the crack generation of fusing department.
In the present invention, can make as the refractory metal of alumina grain growth inhibitor and sintering aid composition the two and be stored in the fusing department of sealing.Under the situation of present embodiment, the growth inhibiting effect of alumina grain is better than refractory metal and the sintering aid composition situation of individualism separately.Like this, the result that the growth of alumina grain is suppressed, the crack of sealing produces and is inhibited.
Secondly, the alumina crystal that the inhibition efficient melting portion that the crack to sealing produces be described is constructed.
That is, the alumina grain in the polycrystalline alumina ceramic fusion of sealing and the fusing department that is solidified to form subsequently is to carry out crystallization again by the aluminium oxide of temporary transient fusion in the forming process of sealing to form.Therefore, the size of alumina grain, shape according to the difference in place and and inhomogeneous.Measure for size, shape to this alumina grain, (scanning electron microscope SEM) comes section construction drawing picture to sealing for example to use scanning electron microscope.Come the instrumentation alumina grain according to the image that is obtained.When the greatest width dimension of the alumina grain of the image that this is determined is made as major diameter L, in the time of will being made as minor axis W with maximum size in the width dimensions of the direction of this major diameter quadrature, this minor axis W is equivalent to the alumina crystal particle diameter.By coming size, shape to alumina grain to manage like this, the crack that can suppress sealing produces.
In the present invention, more than 50% of the alumina grain of fusing department, preferred particle diameter more than 90% are in the scope of 3~200 μ m, and shape is in the major diameter of establishing alumina grain, and to be that L and the ratio L/W when establishing minor axis and being W satisfy in the scope of 1.0≤L/W≤20 comparatively desirable.As long as be in this scope, then formed fusing department will be difficult to produce the crack, and the formation sealing is easier to relatively.
When forming sealing when the sealing reservations heating and melting that makes path tube portion, the alumina grain of fusing department reaches more than the 3 μ m at least because of crystallization particle diameter again.On the other hand, if the particle diameter of alumina grain surpasses 200 μ m, then alumina grain can be excessive and fusing department becomes and is easy to generate the crack.
And about the shape of alumina grain, needing only than L/W is 1.0, and then the state of fusing department will become well, can fully obtain the inhibition effect that the crack produces.On the other hand, if surpass 20 than L/W, the crack will be very easy to produce, thus the extremely difficult high-pressure discharge lamp that obtains practicality.As long as be in the scope that satisfies above-mentioned condition, then will obtain inhibition effect to the crack generation of sealing.
In addition, the particle diameter of the alumina grain of fusing department is more than the 5 μ m and is in the scope that satisfies 1.0≤L/W≤10 then even more ideal.In this scope, the crack generation for sealing will obtain higher inhibition effect.
And the value S (MPa) of compression stress that imports the part of conductor with the electric current of the fusing department welding of sealing preferably sets in the scope of 100≤S≤800.In addition, so-called compression stress is meant negative Sealing Stress.The scope of sealing stress, expression form easily sealing and can obtain scope to the inhibition effect in the crack that produces in this fusing department.But, if the value of compression stress less than 100, the formation of the sealing difficulty that will become very then.And if the value of compression stress surpasses 800, then the crack produces and will become apparent.
And sealing must be in the inside of its fusing department, and the grain circle of the alumina grain of adjacency is close to mutually, and finally not forming the minim gap that leads to the fusing department outside is grain gap, circle.By above-mentioned formation, the known fusing department that can suppress effectively produces the crack.Wherein, formed space, the inside of fusing department (void) is not comprised in the above-mentioned gap.
The inner formed space of fusing department form sometimes can not be referred to as minim gap than large space.But, when as the sealing of no sintering as, make the ceramic fusion of path tube portion and when forming sealing, as long as the cost adequate time is carried out slow cooling, just can stop the formation in space, preferably the space is not present in the inside of the fusing department of sealing.
Secondly, other formations among the present invention are described.
1. about the Young's modulus (Young ' s modulus) of the fusing department of sealing
The Young's modulus Y of fusing department outer surface (GPa) preferably is in the scope that satisfies 100≤Y≤700.Thus, can obtain inhibition effect that the crack of sealing is produced.
2. about the hardness of the fusing department of sealing
The hardness H of fusing department outer surface (GPa) preferably is in the scope that satisfies 5≤H≤60.
Thus, can obtain inhibition effect that the crack of sealing is produced.
3. about the formation form of the fusing department of sealing
Fusing department preferably is made of the 1st zone and the 2nd zone, described the 1st zone be the sealing reservations of path tube portion spread all over path tube portion inner face till electric current imports surface of conductors roughly integral body and fusion is solidified subsequently and is formed; The part that described the 2nd zone is the aluminium oxide of fusion in the 1st zone enter the path tube portion that is adjacent to the 1st zone non-fusing department inner face and and its electric current in opposite directions import to solidify behind the gap between conductor and form.Thus, can obtain inhibition effect that the crack of sealing is produced.
Below, referring to figs. 1 through Fig. 3, the high-pressure discharge lamp of the 1st embodiment of the present invention is described.In the present embodiment, high-pressure discharge lamp possesses light transparent ceramic gas-tight container 1, electric current imports conductor 2, electrode 3, refractory metal lining MC, sealing SP and discharge medium.
(light transparent ceramic gas-tight container 1)
Light transparent ceramic gas-tight container 1 possesses 1a of encirclement portion and the path tube 1b of portion.Inside at the 1a of encirclement portion forms discharge space 1c.In addition, the light transmission of light transparent ceramic gas-tight container 1 is meant to possess the permeability that can make the light that is produced by discharge be seen through and export to outside degree, not only can be transparent, also can be light diffusing.And the major part of surrounding the part of discharge space at least is that light transmission gets final product, and generally speaking, the part beyond the above-mentioned major part may not also can for light transmission.
The inside of the 1a of encirclement portion is hollow, and its constituent material is formed by the polycrystalline alumina ceramic of light transmission.As this polycrystalline alumina ceramic material, use the metal oxide of monocrystalline, for example sapphire (sapphire), yttrium-aluminium-garnet (yttrium aluminum garnet, YAG), yittrium oxide (yttriumoxide, YOX), perhaps use the polycrystalline non-oxidized substance, for example the material of aluminium nitride (AlN) etc.These light transmission polycrystalline alumina ceramics are in the industrial volume production that realizes, and are easier to relatively buy, and are therefore comparatively suitable as the constituent material of light transparent ceramic gas-tight container 1 integral body.
The path tube 1b of portion forms the cylindrical body of path, is connected in the end of the 1a of encirclement portion and the inside that its inside is communicated in the 1a of encirclement portion airtightly, and extends to foreign side from the end of the 1a of encirclement portion.The path tube 1b of portion is preferably by being shaped integratedly with the continuous curved surface of the 1a of encirclement portion.
And among the path tube 1b of portion, the sealing reservations that are formed at wherein are made of the light transmission polycrystalline alumina ceramic at least.The crystallization average grain diameter of the general above-mentioned aluminium oxide ceramics that uses is about 70 μ m, but when enforcement of the present invention, generally will be at least near the position of the sealing reservations of the path tube 1b of portion, in other words, will in the sealing step, be set at below the 50 μ m by the average crystallite particle diameter in the place of fusion.In addition, the average crystallite particle diameter is the smaller the better, below for example preferred 30 μ m, more preferably below the 20 μ m.Therefore, comparatively ideal is the scope of 0.1~30 μ m, and better is the scope of 0.5~20 μ m.And then, by the average crystallite particle diameter with the sealing reservations of the path tube 1b of portion be made as below the 4 μ m, below the preferred 3 μ m, more preferably below the 1 μ m, thereby easier welding by aluminium oxide ceramics forms sealing.
And, the integral body of light transparent ceramic gas-tight container 1 by the formed situation of light transmission polycrystalline alumina ceramic under, make the crystallization average grain diameter of the 1a of encirclement portion relatively large, and the crystallization average grain diameter that makes the path tube 1b of portion is less relatively as mentioned above.
The quantity of the path tube 1b of portion is 2 what set pair of electrodes 3 generally speaking, but when a pair of path tube 1b of portion is disposed at position spaced respectively, and pair of electrodes 3 separates along tubular axis and in opposite directions.In addition, the pottery of the formation path tube 1b of portion also can be essentially light-proofness.
In the present embodiment, the path tube 1b of portion portion within it is formed with capillary (capillary) structure, but also can form this capillary structure.And then the length of the path tube 1b of portion is not particularly limited in the present embodiment.Generally speaking, so long as this path tube 1b of portion and electric current import conductor 2 and get final product by the length that direct or indirect ceramic welding forms sealing SP easily at least.Because sealing SP can tolerate relative higher temperatures, therefore the length of the above-mentioned path tube 1b of portion can show the length that is shorter than the path tube 1b of portion when using previous sintered glass to seal.
Secondly, when making light transparent ceramic gas- tight container 1,1a of encirclement portion and the path tube 1b of portion are shaped integratedly and form.But, also can come according to circumstances by a plurality of member of formation being engaged or chimeric formation.For example, also can carry out separately being engaged respectively after the presintering, and then integral body is carried out sintering, form the light transparent ceramic gas-tight container 1 of one thus 1a of encirclement portion and the path tube 1b of portion.
(importing conductor 2) about electric current
It is the bodies that are connected in series of hermetic unit 2a and anti-halide part 2b that electric current imports conductor 2.And it is the conductors that function as follows that electric current imports conductor 2, supports electrode 3 described later that is:, to electrode 3 supplying electric currents, and acts synergistically with the path tube 1b of portion and to seal light transparent ceramic gas-tight container 1.Therefore, electric current imports the inside that conductor 2 inserts the path tube 1b of portion of light transparent ceramic gas-tight container 1.One distolateral be anti-halide part 2b, connecting electrode 3 at its front end.And, on another distolateral hermetic unit 2a, forming the sealing SP described later of light transparent ceramic gas-tight container 1, the other end exposes to the outside from light transparent ceramic gas-tight container 1.In addition, in above-mentioned, exposing to the outside from light transparent ceramic gas-tight container 1, both can be to project to the outside from light transparent ceramic gas-tight container 1, and can not give prominence to but externally get final product in opposite directions with the degree that can power from the outside.
And electric current imports conductor 2 and can use sealing metal or cermet (ceramet) to constitute its hermetic unit 2a.As the sealing metal, from being the group of niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta), titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), hafnium (Hf), vanadium (V) and platinum (Pt), the thermal coefficient of expansion conductive metal close with the thermal coefficient of expansion of the polycrystalline alumina ceramic of the path tube 1b of portion that constitutes light transparent ceramic gas-tight container 1 select.And, as cermet, except above-mentioned metal, also can use the metal from the group of molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W), selected and the cermet of aluminium oxide ceramics.
And then, also a plurality of materials partly can be engaged and formed the hermetic unit 2a that electric current imports conductor 2.For example, can by a part that makes electric current import conductor 2 formed by the sealing metal of from above-mentioned group, selecting and with above-mentioned cermet along the tube axial direction tandem be engaged in constituting of this metal part or with cermet surround metal partly mode and formed by constituting of the multilayer of concentric circles.And, when the conductor 2 of at least a portion hermetic unit 2a that imports to(for) electric current is used cermet, if this cermet part or striding and the path tube 1b of portion that the two part of this cermet part and sealing metal part is carried out light transparent ceramic gas-tight container 1 and electric current importing conductor 2 between sealing, then because reason described later, when the fusion of the path tube 1b of portion by pottery seals, therefore the temperature of pottery forms good sealing easily with easier rising.
(about electrode 3)
Pair of electrodes 3 is to make the inside of light transparent ceramic gas-tight container 1 produce the mechanism of the discharge of discharge medium described later.Pair of electrodes 3 separates and configuration opposite to each other in the mode that produces electric arc (arc) discharge between this electrode.
And electrode 3 is connected in electric current and imports the anti-halide part 2b of conductor 2 and be supported on the assigned position in the light transparent ceramic gas-tight container 1.For example, an end of electrode 3 is connected in the part that electric current imports the private side that projects to light transparent ceramic gas-tight container 1 of conductor 2.
And then, electrode 3 is made of electrode principal part or electrode axial region.The electrode principal part is the part that becomes the starting point of discharge, is the part that plays a role mainly as negative electrode and/or anode therefore, can come not to be directly connected in via electrode axis portion electric current according to circumstances and import conductor 2.And heat radiation well can perhaps make diameter greater than the electrode axial region if necessary in the coil (coil) of coiling tungsten on the electrode principal part for the surface area that increases the electrode principal part.When electrode 3 possessed the electrode axial region, the electrode axial region was to form or weld with the electrode principal part, and was connected in the anti-halide part 2b that electric current imports conductor 2.In addition, can come according to circumstances to make electrode axial region and electric current import the anti-halide part 2b sharing of conductor 2 by single tungsten material.

(about refractory metal lining MC)
In the present invention, when the alumina grain growth inhibitor is made of refractory metal, as shown in Figure 2, at the outer surface of the sealing reservations (for example end of the 1b of path tube portion) of the path tube 1b of portion of light transparent ceramic gas-tight container 1, pre-configured refractory metal lining MC before its sealing step.
And, as refractory metal lining MC, use the netted lining or the paper tinsel of refractory metal.In present embodiment shown in Figure 2, adopted netted coating metal MC.The wall thickness t (μ m) of these refractory metal linings MC is in the scope of 0.03≤t≤0.30.Difficulty that make and operate will increase if the wall thickness t of coating metal less than 0.03 μ m, will cross thin.And when laser radiation, the metal ingredient of netted lining evaporates easily, thereby metal will become insufficient to the diffusion of fusing department 4.On the other hand, if the wall thickness t of coating metal MC surpasses 0.30 μ m, then heating time will be elongated.And the rigidity of net metal lining MC can uprise and processing when reeling netted lining on the sealing reservations of the path tube 1b of the portion difficulty that will become, and follows in this, and will become to the close property of the path tube 1b of portion descends easily, therefore not good in practicality.
The embodiment that refractory metal lining MC is made of netted lining preferably is constructed as follows.The bore φ (mm) of the hole of net is in the scope of 0.05<φ<0.50.If bore φ is below the 0.05mm, then makes the difficulty that to become, and will tail off through the laser energy of hole.On the other hand, if bore φ is more than the 0.50mm, then operation will become difficult.And metal will become insufficient to the diffusion of fusing department 4.
And the hole interval d (mm) of net is in the scope of 0.05<d<0.50.If the hole of net d at interval is below the 0.05mm, then make the difficulty that to become.On the other hand, if hole interval d is more than the 0.50mm, the laser energy that then sees through hole will tail off.In addition, as hole interval d, be meant the length of the paper tinsel part that forms on the pair of holes gap of adjacency.
(about sealing SP)
Sealing SP is shown in amplification among Fig. 3, and the aluminium oxide ceramics of the sealing reservations of the path tube 1b of portion comprises the alumina grain growth inhibitor.In the present embodiment, diffusing to fusion under the state of aluminium oxide ceramics from the refractory metal lining refractory metal that MC supplied with as the alumina grain growth inhibitor, and be solidified to form fusing department 4 at hermetic unit 2a place.As shown in Figure 3, fusing department 4 comprises weld portion 4a, is close to 4b of portion and binding part 4c.
Weld portion 4a is aforesaid the 1st zone of fusing department 4, and the hermetic unit 2a that to be aluminium oxide ceramics import conductor 2 from electric current melts to till the inner face of the path tube 1b of portion, and then is solidified to form, and constitutes the essential major part of the fusing department 4 in the sealing SP.
The portion 4b of being close to is aforesaid the 2nd zone of fusing department 4, be between the inner face of part of not fusion of the aluminium oxide ceramics of the fusion path tube 1b of portion that enters adjacency and hermetic unit 2a that electric current imports conductor and the anti-halide part 2b in the formed gap, and the part that is solidified to form.In addition, sealing SP also can not possess the 4b of the portion of being close to.But, except weld portion 4a, also possess the 4b of the portion of being close to by sealing SP, thereby can carry out the higher sealing of reliability.
Binding part 4c is in the major part of the path tube 1b of portion not in the part of fusion, only softening the or fusion in outer circumferential side surface and be bonded in refractory metal lining MC and the part that forms.Sealing SP also can possess binding part 4c.
Like this, in the present embodiment, the metal of refractory metal lining MC diffuses to the fusing department 4 of sealing SP as monomer.The preferable range of content m (weight %) is for satisfying the scope of 0.5<m<30.In addition, if content m less than 0.5 weight %, will be difficult to obtain the effect of improving of thermal coefficient of expansion.And if be more than the 30 weight %, will become is easy to generate boundary's fracture.And, also can be used as oxide and be dispersed to the inside of fusing department 4 from the part of the refractory metal lining refractory metal that MC supplied with.
And refractory metal lining MC is pre-configured before the sealing of light transparent ceramic gas-tight container 1, but in most cases, and its major part still can be residual afterwards to form sealing SP refractory metal being supplied to fusing department 4 in.But according to air-proof condition, original state is destroyed even the part of refractory metal lining MC is separated, and also can not impact characteristic.
In the present invention, for light transparent ceramic gas-tight container 1 is sealed, and when the welding of the path tube 1b of portion by pottery forms sealing SP, be used to make the method for ceramic fusion to be not particularly limited.For example, when the aluminium oxide ceramics of the path tube 1b of portion and refractory metal lining MC are heated, and make the temperature of aluminium oxide ceramics rise to its melt temperature when above, the aluminium oxide ceramics fusion.And then, the aluminium oxide ceramics of fusion is blended in the surface of each connection end of hermetic unit 2a corresponding with the sealing reservations of the electric current importing conductor 2 that inserts the path tube 1b of portion and anti-halide part 2b, and refractory metal diffuses to the aluminium oxide ceramics from refractory metal lining MC.Subsequently, when fusion site being cooled off when stopping heating, aluminium oxide ceramics solidifies, fusing department 4 be fused to that electric current imports the hermetic unit 2a of conductor 2 and anti-halide part 2b each connect end and form sealing SP, thereby light transparent ceramic gas-tight container 1 obtains sealing.
To the mechanism that the aluminium oxide ceramics of the path tube 1b of portion heats, for example can use localized heating mechanism, induction heating mechanism and the electric heater (heater) etc. of heat ray projection-type of the based on halogen bulb etc. of laser or band speculum.In addition, as laser, for example can use YAG laser, CO 2Laser etc.
When the localized heating mechanism that uses the heat ray projection-type comes complete cycle to the sealing reservations of the path tube 1b of portion to heat, localized heating mechanism is disposed at the spaced position of regulation with respect to above-mentioned sealing reservations, for example when refractory metal lining MC is dictyosome, localized heating mechanism is disposed at the side of sealing reservations.As long as make on one side the work of localized heating mechanism, any one or both of the path tube 1b of portion of light transparent ceramic gas-tight container 1 and localized heating mechanism are rotated, just can be equably the complete cycle of the path tube 1b of portion be heated.But, for example when refractory metal lining MC is paper tinsel, also can for example come irradiating laser from the direction of the path tube 1b of portion extension from tube axial direction.And, also can be in a plurality of localized heating of disposing on every side of the path tube 1b of portion that disposes regularly mechanism, perhaps make the rotation around the path tube 1b of portion of localized heating mechanism, and then the heating arrangements of the complete cycle of the configuration encirclement path tube 1b of portion, under static state, light transparent ceramic gas-tight container 1 is heated thus.
