Abstract

Sintering aids are disclosed which inprove the sintering of emission materials in high pressure discharge lamps. The sintering aid is a eutectic composition of at least one of barium oxide-tungsten oxide (BaO--WO.sub.3), calcium oxide-tungsten oxide (CaO--WO.sub.3), or strontium oxide-tungsten oxide (SrO--WO.sub.4)and is mixed with the emission material in quantities of about 2 to 50 wt.% sintering aid and 50 to 98% emission material. Preferably, the sintering aid is present at between about 5 and 10 wt.%.
