Abstract

In a halogen-metal vapor lamp having a ceramic housing (2) and a current lead-through conductor (3) arranged in the ceramic housing, the glazed part of the current lead-through conductor (3) is a niobium alloy doped with phosphorus, in particular with 50 ppm to 0.5 wt. % phosphorus. The glazed part of the current lead-through conductor (3) preferably has inside the ceramic vessel (2) a shielding (4) from halides, which is connected to a tungsten electrode. The glazed part of a current lead-through conductor (3) in the form of a pin having a length of 5 to 30 mm and a diameter of 0.2 to 2 mm is a niobium alloy doped with phosphorus. For the glazing of current lead-through conductors in a ceramic burner, a current lead-through conductor made of a niobium alloy temperature-stabilized with phosphorus is glazed. For the production of halogen-metal vapor lamps having a ceramic housing (2) and a current lead-through conductor (3) arranged in the ceramic housing (2), the current lead-through conductor (3) is exposed to heat treatments at temperatures of at least 1000° C. and there does not soften so much that it bends.
