Abstract:
According to one embodiment, there is provided an X-ray tube target. The X-ray tube target has a structure in which a carbon base material is bonded with an Mo base material or Mo alloy base material with a joint layer. The joint layer includes an MoNbTi diffusion phase, an NbTi alloy phase, an Nb-rich phase and a ZrNb alloy phase when the ratios of components in the joint layer are detected by EPMA.

Abstract:
An x-ray tube includes a frame, an anode for generating x-rays disposed within the frame, a cathode disposed within the frame, where the cathode is configured to selectively emit an electron beam toward the anode, and at least one heating element disposed within the frame and configured to heat a portion of the anode.
Abstract:
A high-quality and high-reliability rotary anode target for X-ray tubes, of which the mechanical strength at high temperatures is increased and which is applicable not only to low-speed rotation (at least 3,000 rpm) but also even to high-speed rotation at high temperatures, and also a method for producing it. The rotary anode has a two-layered structure to be formed by laminating an Mo alloy substrate that comprises from 0.2% by weight to 1.5% by weight of TiC with the balance of substantially Mo, and an X-ray generating layer of a W—Re alloy that overlies the substrate.
Abstract:
A radiation emission device is provided. The radiation emission device may include an anode, a first cathode, a heating device and an enclosure. The first cathode may include a first filament that emit an electron beam striking the anode to generate radioactive rays for imaging. The heating device may be located outside of the first cathode and be configured to warm up the anode. The enclosure may be configured to enclosure the first cathode and the anode.
Abstract:
A system for applying a target track material to an x-ray tube target includes a controller configured to direct a beam of energy toward an x-ray tube target, and direct a solid stock material toward the beam of energy to cause the solid stock material to melt and deposit as a melted material on the x-ray tube target.

Abstract:
A rotary anode for a rotary anode X-ray tube has an anode disc with a supporting portion. A focal track is located in the vicinity of an outer diameter of the anode disc. The supporting portion has inhomogeneous material properties along a radial coordinate of the anode disc to provide a high mechanical load capacity in the area of an inner diameter of the anode disc and a high thermal load capacity at the focal track. These measures provide for a rotary anode for a rotary anode X-ray tube that meets the extreme thermal and mechanical loads during operation. Further, a method for manufacturing such a rotary anode is described as well.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, large-area sputtering targets are formed by providing a plurality of sputtering targets each comprising a backing plate and a refractory metal layer disposed thereon, and spray depositing a refractory metal powder on an interface between the sputtering targets, the refractory metal powder consisting essentially of the same metal as each refractory metal layer, thereby joining the refractory metal layers of the sputtering targets.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for the reprocessing or production of a sputter target or an X-ray anode wherein a gas flow forms a gas/powder mixture with a powder of a material chosen from the group consisting of niobium, tantalum, tungsten, molybdenum, titanium, zirconium, mixtures of two or more thereof and alloys thereof with at least two thereof or with other metals, the powder has a particle size of 0.5 to 150 μm, wherein a supersonic speed is imparted to the gas flow and the jet of supersonic speed is directed on to the surface of the object to be reprocessed or produced.
