Popis: Pairs of halogen lamps were heated simultaneously at various rates of temperature increase through the recrystallization temperature and were held for five hours at 120 volts. One lamp in each of 20 pairs was vibrated during lightup. Examination of the grain boundaries of the filaments revealed that 63 pct of the boundaries in the vibrated lamps were “transverse.” In the lamps not vibrated, 52 pct of the boundaries were “transverse.” The greater number of “trans- verse” grain boundaries in the vibrated lamps is attributed to grain boundary sliding, which generates additional energy to allow the grain boundary to overcome the restraint to migration provided by the strings of potassium bubbles in the lamp wire.
