Abstract: A method for fabricating and the resulting x-ray target comprising metal deposited on an electrically-conductive base member by electrodeposition from a molten salt electrolyte is claimed. The method comprises submerging the base member in a molten salt electrolyte bath. The base member acts as a cathode and anodes of target material metals are activated by electrical circuitry to deposit a target layer onto the base member. The electrodeposition method results in an exceptionally dense and pure layer of tungsten or tungsten alloy. Target materials of tungsten, tungsten alloy, rhenium, and rhenium alloy produce good results when electrodeposited onto base members fabricated from molybdenum, molybdenum alloy, and graphite-or carbon-based composites.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a high-voltage generator for an x-ray source, an x-ray gun, an electron beam apparatus, a rotary vacuum seal, a target assembly for an x-ray source, a rotary x-ray emission target, and an x-ray source. These various aspects may separately and/or together enable the construction of an x-ray source which can operate at energies of up to 500 kV and beyond, which is suitable for use in commercial and research x-ray applications such as computerised tomography. In particular, the high-voltage generator includes a shield electrode electrically connected intermediate of a first voltage multiplier and a second voltage multiplier. The electron beam apparatus includes control photodetectors and photo emitters having a transparent conductive shield arranged therebetween. The rotary vacuum seal includes a pumpable chamber at a position intermediate between high-pressure and low-pressure ends of a bore for a rotating shaft. The rotary target assembly is configured such that when a torque between a bearing housing and a vacuum housing exceeds a predetermined torque, the bearing housing rotates relative to the vacuum housing. The rotary x-ray emission target has a plurality of target plates supported on a hub, the plates being arranged on the hub to provide an annular target region about an axis rotation of the hub. The x-ray gun is provided with a shield electrode maintained at a potential difference relative to the x-ray target different to the electron beam emission cathode.
