    Abstract: The x-ray target assemblies have an oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) refractory metal alloy substrate that is bonded to a carbon-containing heat sink. The x-ray target assemblies have excellent bonding between the substrate and the heat sink. The improved bonding is achieved by placing an oxide-free barrier layer between the ODS metal substrate and the heat sink. The oxide-free barrier layer minimizes or eliminates chemical reactions that would otherwise be possible between the dispersed oxides and the carbon-based heat sink during the manufacturing process. Preventing these undesired reactions while manufacturing the x-ray target assembly yields a device with improved bonding between the heat sink and the substrate, compared to devices manufactured without the barrier layer.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for applying an absorptive coating to a portion of the evacuated enclosure in an x-ray generating device is disclosed. The absorptive coating is applied to the inner surface of the evacuated enclosure to enhance its heat dissipation characteristics, which in turn assists in tube cooling during x-ray production. The absorptive coating is applied atop an intermediate bonding layer. Both the absorptive coating and the intermediate bonding layer are applied to the evacuated enclosure surface by electroplating processes. A plating apparatus comprising the evacuated enclosure portion, a plating fixture, and a base plate is used both to contain the electroplating solution during the plating process, as well as to facilitate its entry into and removal from the evacuated enclosure. A method of employing the plating apparatus to apply the intermediate bonding layer and the absorptive coating is also disclosed.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an oxide coating layer for improving the thermal emissivity of metallic X-ray tube anodes as well as improving the layer properties and effects displayed by the oxide coating. The oxide coating layer includes 1-20% by weight, and preferably, 4-7% by weight, of aluminum oxide. The layer additionally includes small proportions of other compounds and contains the oxides of the metals Ti and Zr and is applied to the x-ray anode by standard deposition processes. It is essential that the titanium dioxide content is less than 20% by weight of the oxide coating layer and the zirconium oxide content is greater than 60% by weight of the oxide coating layer. The coating layer may also include a stabilizing component, such as CaO. As a result, the deposition of such oxides or oxide mixtures is substantially better than hitherto known, and the anodes thus produced can be further processed to produce useable oxide layers without adverse effect to the important properties of layer adhesion and thermal emission coefficient.
