Abstract

An improved composite emission material for use in the electrodes of high intensity (HID) lamps comprising a reacted mixture of barium zirconate and strontium zirconate wherein the ratio of barium to strontium is from between 9:1 to 1:1 and is preferably 4:1. The improved emission material has a lower vapor pressure, higher melting point and a reduced processing time as compared to prior art emission materials.
