Abstract
The coiled tungsten filament of an incandescent lamp is made more resistant to sagging by exposing the filament to a vaporized phosphorus atmosphere so as to form tungsten monophosphide on the filament. The filament is subsequently heated in order to dissociate the tungsten monophosphide and evaporate the phosphorus therefrom.
