ABSTRACT:
Coiled incandescible filament which principally comprises tantalum carbide has coiled end portions thereof overfitting relatively thick tantalum carbide members, with the inner surfaces of the overfitting coils welded to the relatively thick members. Electrical connection and support for the filament is made to the relatively thick, overfitted members, rather than the fine, brittle filament. In order to effect the weld between the overfitting coils and the relatively thick members, the coils and relatively thick members are first overfitted as metals and then carbided, with diffusion welds therebetween formed during the carbiding process.
