Abstract
An arc tube is formed by polycrystalline alumina so that an average crystal grain diameter of a surface is two to ten times as large as an average crystal grain diameter of an inside including a center line of a thickness and the average crystal grain diameter on the center portion of the thickness is 10 μm to 100 μm. As a result, in the arc tube, the total transmittance is 98%, and a linear ray transmittance is 5%.
Claims5
A corrosion-resistant alumina member comprising polycrystalline alumina, wherein an average crystal grain diameter of surface grains is two to ten times as large as an average crystal grain diameter of internal grains located at a center line of a thickness dimension of said alumina member when viewed in cross-section.
