Abstract:
    The invention relates to gas-tight sintered translucent aluminum oxide having a density of at least 99.5%, which contains at most 100 ppm by weight of MgO. According to the invention, the aluminum oxide also has a content of Er2O3 lying between 20 ppm by weight and 200 ppm by weight. The material thus obtained has a great mechanical strength, a high resistance to attack by sodium and a satisfactory translucence. Thus, the material is very suitable for use as wall material for the discharge vessels of high-pressure discharge lamps.
