Abstract:
A method for the diffusion bonding of a graphite member to a metallic surface of molybdenum, molybdenum alloy, tungsten or tungsten alloy as part of a composite rotary anode for an X-ray tube is set forth. In the completed structure a crack-free compound laminate separating and joining the graphite member and the metallic surface comprises a layer of carbide of metal of the metallic surface bonded to a layer of platinum or platinum alloy.
Abstract:
A method for the diffusion bonding of a graphite member to a metallic surface as part of a composite rotary anode for an X-ray tube is set forth. In the completed structure a compound laminate separating and metallurgically bonded to the graphite member and to the metallic surface consists of, in sequence, a layer comprising carbide of vanadium and of a metal selected from the group consisting of molybdenum and tungsten, a layer of metal selected from the group consisting of vanadium and vanadium alloys, a zone of interdiffused metals comprising platinum and vanadium and then a continuous layer comprising platinum or platinum alloy.
Abstract:
The method provides an X-ray tube rotary anode by increasing the thickness of a thin, highly deformed anode disc to the desired value by deposition of a layer, consisting mainly of molybdenum, by means of thermal spraying. The method provides an X-ray rotary anode which has the attractive properties of a highly deformed anode disc and which also has a large diameter which cannot be obtained by means of the high-speed deformation impact process due to the maximum applicable thickness-diameter ratio.
Abstract:
Improved rotary targets for X-ray tubes are provided which include a substrate body of a high strength molybdenum alloy, an intermediate ductile layer of pure molybdenum or a ductile molybdenum alloy affixed to the top surface thereof and an electron receiving layer made of a tungsten-based alloy affixed to at least a portion of the intermediate layer.
Abstract:
A rotary anode for an X-ray tube comprising an anode body formed of graphite, a target layer formed of tungsten or alloy thereof, and an intermediate layer containing rhenium and molybdenum, the intermediate layer being interposed between and bonded with the anode body and target layer. This rotary anode may be obtained by forming over a target area of the graphite anode body a paste layer containing rhenium powder and molybdenum powder, laminating over the paste layer a layer formed of tungsten or alloy thereof, and then hot-pressing the resultant laminated body under vacuum or in an inert gas by means of a pressure transmitting powder.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an improved composite anode for rotating-anode xray tubes and an improved method of fabrication thereof. The anode comprises a substrate disk, a portion of whose focal track is scored, for example by scratching or engraving of one or more annular grooves of rectangular cross-section. A coating of x-ray emissive material covers the scored region. In certain embodiments of the invention, the emissive coating is undercoated with an interlayer of a material which is a poor emitter of xrays. The emissive coating and/or the undercoating may cover other portions of the disk and, in particular, may cover all exposed surfaces thereof. The method comprises providing such a disk, scoring it in the focal track region and applying an x-ray emissive coating to the scored region. The last step may be preceded by the application of an undercoating of a material which is a poor x-ray emitter. Either or both coatings may be applied to other surfaces of the disk.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an aqueous pharmaceutical suspension composition having from about 0.2% to 20% of a substantially water soluble pharmaceutical active, e.g. acetaminophen; a suspension stabilizing effective amount of xanthan gum and microcrystalline cellulose; an effective amount of taste masking compositions; and water, as well as a process for producing such aqueous pharmaceutical suspensions.
