摘要： An optically transparent polycrystalline alumina sintered body consists essentially of alumina, magnesia, yttria and zirconia. The magnesia is present in an amount of about 0.020 wgt. percent, the yttria is present in an amount of about 0.035 wgt. percent, and the zirconia is present in an amount of about 0.018 wgt. percent. An arc tube for a high pressure sodium lamp made from this composition has greatly increased resistance to sodium loss and concomitant outer jacket darkening, whereby the effective amount of lumen output is increased.

摘要： A ceramic arc tube having an integral susceptor for RF inductive sealing is described. The integral susceptor in the form of an electrically conductive coating is applied directly to the surface of the arc tube in the seal region. This enables RF heating which is sufficient to melt a frit material and hermetically seal the arc tube. The integral susceptor further provides for a more controlled placement of the seal.

摘要： A single-ended ceramic discharge lamp is described which has an integral optical surface such as a parabolic or elliptical reflector. The single-ended configuration eliminates the need for the mounting structures found in double-ended lamps that can interfere with the light emitted from the lamp, particularly in focused beam applications.

摘要： A method of producing a ceramic metal halide discharge lamp having a monolithic seal between a sapphire (single crystal alumina) arc tube and a polycrystalline alumina (PCA) end cap. The method includes the steps of providing an arc tube of fully dense sapphire and providing an end cap made of unsintered compressed polycrystalline alumina powder doped with magnesium oxide and yttrium oxide. The end cap is heated until it is presintered to remove organic binder material at a low temperature relative to the sintering temperature. The presintered end cap is placed on an end portion of the arc tube to form a close interface between the two. The presintered end cap and adjacent arc tube are then heated to until the end cap is fully sintered onto the arc tube and the sapphire tube grows into the end cap. A monolithic seal is formed along the interface between the end cap and the arc tube as the sapphire tube grows into the polycrystalline alumina end cap. The yttrium oxide promotes increased growth between sapphire tube and the PCA end cap and is not detrimental to the metal halide chemistry, nor subject to erosion by the metal halide chemistry.

摘要： A method for making a ceramic body is provided wherein the ceramic components are joined in their green state. The method includes applying heat to the surfaces to be joined to cause a localized melting of the binder. The surfaces are then brought together and joined by alternately applying compression and stretching. The method is particularly advantageous for forming unitary ceramic arc tube bodies for high intensity discharge (HID) lighting applications.
