Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine mit Emissionsmaterial versehene Drahtelektrode für elektrische Dampf- und/oder Gasentladungslampen. Es sind die verschiedensten Verfahren und Anordnungen bekannt, um die Aufnahmefähigkeit des Elektrodenträgermetalls zu erhöhen. So wurde bereits vorgeschlagen, durch elektrolytische Metallabscheidung eine poröse Oberfläche auf dem metallischen Trägerkörper zu erhalten. Andere Vorschlage zielen dahin, dem Trägerkörper eine rauhere Oberfläche zu geben, z. B. in Gestalt eines Wellröhrchens. Schließlich ist auch schon bekannt, mehrere dünne Drähte miteinander zu verseilen und das Seil als Träger für die Emissionsschicht zu verwenden.The invention relates to a wire electrode provided with emissive material for electrical purposes Vapor and / or gas discharge lamps. There are a wide variety of procedures and arrangements known to increase the absorption capacity of the electrode carrier metal. So it was already proposed a porous surface on the metallic by electrolytic metal deposition To get carrier body. Other proposals aim to give the carrier body a rougher one To give surface, e.g. B. in the form of a corrugated tube. After all, it is already known strand several thin wires together and use the rope as a carrier for the emission layer use.

Zweck der Erfindung ist es, eine auf einfache Weise herstellbare Drahtelektrode zu schaffen, die dennoch eine solche rauhe Oberfläche besitzt, daß eine größere Menge Emissionsmaterial darauf sicher festhaftet. Gemäß der Erfindung ist eine mit Emissionsmaterial versehene Drahtelektrode für elektrische Entladungslampen, die aus im Sinterverfahren aus Metallpulvern, vorzugsweise aus Wolfram oder Molybdän, hergestelltem Faserstrukturdraht besteht, über die ganze Länge des Drahtes bis zur Bildung von Spalten und ZwischenräumenThe purpose of the invention is to create a wire electrode which can be produced in a simple manner nevertheless has such a rough surface that a larger amount of emissive material is on it firmly adhered. According to the invention, a wire electrode provided with emissive material is for electric discharge lamps, which are made in the sintering process from metal powders, preferably from Tungsten or molybdenum, made of fiber structure wire, is made over the entire length of the wire to the formation of gaps and spaces

infolge Trennung der Kristallfasern an der Oberfläche des Drahtes tordiert. Es hat sich gezeigt, daß die Tordierung so weit getrieben werden kann, daß die Außenfasern des Drahtes gegen seine Längsachse in einem Winkel von 70 ° verlaufen.twisted due to separation of the crystal fibers on the surface of the wire. It has been shown that the twisting can be driven so far that the outer fibers of the wire against its longitudinal axis run at an angle of 70 °.

Faserstrukturdrähte werden in bekannter Weise erhalten, wenn von Metallpulver, vorzugsweise Wolfram oder Molybdän, ausgegangen wird, welches anschließend gesintert und dann bearbeitetStructural fiber wires are obtained in a known manner, if from metal powder, preferably Tungsten or molybdenum is assumed, which is then sintered and then machined

ίο wird durch Hämmern, Walzen und Ziehen. Solche Drähte lassen sich auch unter dem angegebenen starken Winkel tordieren, wenn gleichzeitig eine Erwärmung auf 200 bis 250° C erfolgt. Bei dieser Tordierung werden in dem äußeren Querschnittsteil des Drahtes die Kristallfasern getrennt und durch die Torsion wie Seile auf den unversehrten Drahtkern aufgewickelt. Dabei bilden sich Spalte und Zwischenräume, die von der Oberfläche her tief in das Drahtinnere eingreifen, wodurch eine wesentlich vergrößerte Haftfläche für Emissionsstoffe entsteht. ίο is made by hammering, rolling and pulling. Such Wires can also be twisted at the specified sharp angle if at the same time one Heating to 200 to 250 ° C takes place. With this twisting are in the outer cross-sectional part The crystal fibers of the wire are separated and twisted like ropes on the intact Wire core wound up. This creates gaps and spaces from the surface Reach deep into the inside of the wire, creating a significantly larger adhesive surface for emissions.

Vorteilhaft wird der so tordierte Elektrodendraht zu einer doppelt gewendelten Elektrode gewickelt und das Emissionsmaterial derart auf die Drahtelektrode aufgebracht, daß es in der Hauptsache auf der Drahtoberfläche in den durch die Tordierung entstandenen Spalten zwischen den Außenfasern des Drahtes und gegebenenfalls in den Zwischenräumen innerhalb der zuerst gewickelten Wendel mit kleinem Wickeldurchmesser, d.h. in der sogenannten Primärwendel, enthalten bleibt. Es hat sich gezeigt, daß das so eingebrachte Emissionsmaterial in genügender Menge aufgenommen wird, um während 10 000 und mehr Betriebsstunden Elektronen zu liefern und so die Lebensdauer der Lampe um 50 und mehr Prozent zu verlängern. Es ist einleuchtend, daß dickere Emissionsstoffschichten, die etwa noch die zweite Wendel, die sogenannte Sekundärwendel, füllen würden, von dem Emissionsmaterial in den Drahtspalten und innerhalb der Primärwendel durch Adhäsionskräfte weniger festgehalten werden können und daher zum Abspratzen unter dem Einfluß der Entladung neigen würden. Als Emissionsstoffe können die bekannten Zusammensetzungen von Erdalkalimetalloxyden gegebenenfalls mit Zusätzen von Elementen der IV. und V. Gruppe des Periodischen Systems verwendet werden, die z. B. als Karbonate auf die Drahtelektroden aufgebracht werden.The electrode wire twisted in this way is advantageously wound into a double-coiled electrode and the emission material is applied to the wire electrode in such a manner that it is mainly on the wire surface in the gaps created by the twisting between the Outer fibers of the wire and possibly in the spaces within the first wound Helix with a small winding diameter, i.e. in the so-called primary helix, is retained. It it has been shown that the emission material introduced in this way has been absorbed in sufficient quantities is to deliver electrons for 10,000 and more hours of operation and so the service life to extend the lamp by 50 and more percent. It is evident that thicker layers of emissions which would still fill the second helix, the so-called secondary helix, from the emission material in the wire gaps and within the primary coil due to adhesive forces can be held less and therefore to spatter under the influence of the discharge would tend. The known compositions of alkaline earth metal oxides can be used as emission substances if necessary with the addition of elements of groups IV and V of the periodic table be used, the z. B. be applied as carbonates on the wire electrodes.
