    Abstract: An anode for an X-ray tube can include a ceramic body, e.g., material that includes yttrium-oxide derivatives. Upon collision with an anode, the kinetic energy of an electron beam in an X-ray tube is converted to high frequency electromagnetic waves, i.e., X-rays. An anode with a ceramic body can reduce costs and/or weight, extend the life of the anode or associated components (e.g., bearings) and simultaneously provide a high heat storage capacity.

    Abstract: An anode for an X-ray tube can include one or more of an yttrium-oxide derivative, titanium diboride, boron carbide, titanium suboxide, reaction-bonded silicon carbide, and reaction-bonded silicon nitride. Upon collision with an anode, the kinetic energy of an electron beam in an X-ray tube is converted to high-frequency electromagnetic waves, i.e., X-rays. An anode from one or more of the above materials and a gradient distribution of conductive metals can reduce costs and/or weight, extend the life of the anode or associated components (e.g., bearings) and simultaneously provide a higher heat storage capacity as compared to traditional molybdenum and tungsten anodes.

    Abstract: An anode for an X-ray tube can include a body comprising one or more of a yttrium-oxide derivative, titanium diboride, boron carbide, titanium suboxide, reaction bonded silicon carbide, and reaction boded silicon nitride. Upon collision with an anode, the kinetic energy of an electron beam in an X-ray tube is converted to high frequency electromagnetic waves, i.e., X-rays. An anode with a body from one or more of the above materials can reduce costs and/or weight, extend the life of the anode or associated components (e.g., bearings) and simultaneously provide a high heat storage capacity than traditional molybdenum and tungsten anodes.
