Abstract: An x-ray anode has an emission layer and a carrier with carrier material to support the emission layer. The carrier material is a metallized carbon fiber material with a portion in which the fibers are specifically directed. A high heat dissipation from the emission layer and a coefficient of heat expansion of the carrier that is advantageous for bonding with the emission layer are achieved.

Abstract: A high-capacity x-ray tube particularly for use in medical technology in CT apparatuses, has a vacuum housing containing a cathode and a rotatably mounted anode. The anode plate of the anode is connected by a solder connection to the one end of a load-bearing part, the other end of which is attached to the bearing shaft of a drive for placing the anode in rotation. The mechanical strength of the connection location between the anode plate and the load-bearing part is improved by the connection being formed by a positive fit, designed such that the connection surfaces are subjected substantially only to compression given rotation of the anode.

Abstract: An x-ray tube target assembly 16 provided. The target assembly 16 includes a target plate element 18 having an impact surface 24, a target rear surface 30, an inner target bore 22, and an outer target circumference 38. The target plate element 18 defines a target plate depth 32 between the impact surface 24 and the target rear surface 30. The target rear surface 30 is formed such that the target plate depth 32 tapers from an increased target plate depth 34 at the inner target bore to a decreased target plate depth 36 at the outer target circumference 38. The target assembly 16 further includes a graphite base element 28 having a base upper surface 42 and a base rear surface 44. The base upper surface 42 is formed to mate with the target rear surface 30.

Abstract: Reaction-brazing of tungsten or molybdenum metal bodies to carbonaceous supports enables an x-ray generating anode to be joined to a preferred lightweight substrate. Complementary surfaces are provided on a dense refractory metal body and a graphite or a carbon-carbon composite support. A particulate braze mixture comprising Hf or Zr carbide, Mo or W boride, Hf or Zr powder and Mo or W powder is coated onto the support surface, and hafnium or zirconium foil may be introduced between the braze mixture and the refractory metal body complementary surface. Reaction-brazing is carried out at or near the eutectic point of the components, which may be influenced to some extent by the presence of carbon and boride. Heating to about 1865° C. for a Mo/Hf combination creates a thin, dense, strong braze that securely joins the two bodies and creates a thin barrier of carbide and boride microphases near and along the interface with the carbon support that diminishes carbon diffusion into the metal body during extended exposures at elevated temperatures (above those presently used in x-ray tubes), even well above the eutectoid temperature.

Abstract: A new method for forming a joint between a molybdenum-based alloy structure and a structure formed from a more ductile alloy is disclosed. The method involves the solid-state bonding of the two structures, which can be carried out by a variety of techniques, such as inertia-welding or explosive-welding. The molybdenum-based alloy may be a TZM-type material, while the more ductile alloy may be tantalum-based, niobium-based, or nickel-based, for example. This method is especially useful in the manufacture of x-ray devices, such as those which include rotary anode assemblies. As one illustration, the method can be used to provide a very strong joint between a target formed from a molybdenum alloy and an insert formed from a tantalum alloy. Related x-ray assemblies are also described.
