The evaporation rate of tungsten wire at high temperature is affected by many factors, such as temperature, tungsten wire diameter, gas atmosphere in the bulb, etc. The following is a detailed analysis of the evaporation rate of tungsten wire at high temperature:
- Relationship between evaporation rate and temperature
The evaporation rate of tungsten wire at high temperature increases with the increase of temperature. Specifically, when the temperature increases, the tungsten atoms on the surface of the tungsten wire obtain enough energy to detach from the solid surface and enter the gas phase, resulting in an increase in the evaporation rate. For example, in a vacuum, when the operating temperature of the tungsten wire increases from 2400K to 3000K, the evaporation rate will increase sharply, which may increase by thousands or even tens of thousands of times.
- Specific evaporation rate value
Since the evaporation rate is affected by many factors, it is difficult to give a specific value. However, based on some experimental data and literature, we can get some approximate evaporation rate ranges. For example, in a vacuum, the evaporation rate of tungsten wire at 2000K may be very low, while at 3000K it may reach a higher level. In addition, the diameter of the tungsten wire will also affect the evaporation rate, and tungsten wires with smaller diameters usually have higher evaporation rates.
- The effect of gas atmosphere on evaporation rate
The gas atmosphere in the bulb also has a significant effect on the evaporation rate of the tungsten wire. In a halogen bulb, the presence of halogen gas can significantly reduce the evaporation of the tungsten wire. This is because the halogen gas reacts chemically with the evaporated tungsten atoms to generate tungsten halides and redeposit on the filament, thereby slowing down the evaporation rate of the tungsten wire. In contrast, the evaporation rate of tungsten wire in a vacuum or inert gas atmosphere will be higher.
- Considerations in practical applications
In practical applications, we need to comprehensively consider factors such as the evaporation rate of the tungsten wire and the life and brightness stability of the bulb. In order to extend the life of the bulb and maintain a high brightness stability, a tungsten wire material with a lower evaporation rate is usually selected, and halogen gas is filled in the bulb to reduce the evaporation of the tungsten wire.
