Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a xenon arc lamp from a set of nine component parts that are brought together in three brazes and one TIG-weld to result in a finished product, the method comprising the steps of:palladium-cobalt brazing together a single-bar cathode-support strut and cathode into a cathode assembly; brazing together a window flange and a sapphire output window to said cathode assembly in a mounted-cathode-braze step; brazing together a copper-tube fill tubulation, a kovar sleeve, a ceramic reflector body, an anode flange, and a tungsten anode into an anode assembly in a body-braze step; and tungsten-inert-gas (TIG) welding together a product of the previous two steps into a final xenon arc lamp product.
