As I understand it, a DC current can cause molecules of the filament metal to migrate over time. It is similar to a plating process where metal molecules move to a charged metal plate. Different process but a similar result. It causes thinning in part of the filament which then has greater dissipation and earlier failure.


I dont think molecules move/migrate in solid metal. Only the valance electrons drift in the direction opposite to current.

Atoms don’t move either. Atoms get excited under heat or pressure but they don’t move. Only the valance elections drift between the atoms. At that what I learned in school.

Not true. That is what happens with regular current flow but electromigration is different. The actual atoms move.

OK, I get that no one has tried Ronan Regulators for DHT heating. I will leave you all to debate how many angels on a pin.

Ok, my bad. Thought we are talking about current flow.
