Abstract:
The invention relates to an electric lamp provided with a light source in a light-transmitting lamp vessel which is closed in a vacuumtight manner, which light source has an envelope of light-transmitting, UV-absorbing quartz glass which comprises silicon oxide, aluminum oxide and cerium oxide, characterized in that the quartz glass of the envelope comprises the aluminum oxide and cerium oxide in a molar ratio of between 0.30 and 0.48. The invention further relates to the quartz glass which is used for said lamp.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing silica glass parts for lamp assemblies comprises of mixing silica powder with a binder substance, the step of supplying the mixture of silica powder and binder substance to an injection molding apparatus to produce a shaped product by injection molding, the step of removing the binder substance from said product, and the step of sintering the product at a high temperature. Other substances like boron oxide and/or aluminium oxide may be applied to the mixture up to an amount of 40 % by volume.
