Description

Entladungsröhre Man hat für die Elektroden von Entladungsröhren, insbesondere von Röntgenröhren, bisher, schon bestimmte Metalle ge-«vählt, um vor allem die Lebensdauer der Röhren zu erhöhen. Es sind auch dadurch gewisse Fortschritte erzielt worden. Immerhin ist aber auch bei Verwendung der besten bisher zu Elektroden benutzten Metalle die Lebensdauer einer Entladungsröhre nicht groß, sobald man andere technische Apparate zum Vergleich heranzieht.Discharge tube One has for the electrodes of discharge tubes, in particular of X-ray tubes, so far, certain metals have been chosen, above all for their service life of the tubes to increase. Some progress has been made through this too. After all, even when using the best electrodes used so far Metals the life of a discharge tube isn't great once you get other technical Use apparatus for comparison.

Gemäß der Erfindung wird ein wesentlicher Fortschritt auf diesem Gebiete erzielt, -wenn man als Material für die nicht beheizte Elektrode Hafnium verwendet. Wegen seines hohen Schmelzpunktes eignet sich dieses Metall besonders für solche Elektroden, die sich. unerwünschterweise erhitzen, also beispielsweise für Antikathoden von Röntgenröhren, Anodenbleche für Senderöhren u. dgl. Das Hafniummetall ist bei genügender Reinheit duktil und läßt sich leicht in jede gewünschte Form bringen.According to the invention, there is a substantial advance in this area achieved -when the material used for the unheated electrode is hafnium. Because of its high melting point, this metal is particularly suitable for such Electrodes that are. unwanted heating, for example for anticathodes of X-ray tubes, anode sheets for transmitter tubes and the like of sufficient purity ductile and can easily be brought into any desired shape.

Die Verwendung des Hafniums für Antikathoden weist im Vergleich zu den bisher benutzten Materialien verschiedene Vorteile auf. Das Hafnium hat, wie schon erwähnt, einen hohen Schmelzpunkt und ist dementsprechend besonders unempfindlich gegen die hohen Temperaturen, denen beispielsweise die Antikathode einer Röntgenröhre ausgesetzt ist. Bei Therapieröhren wird im allgemeinen die ganze Antikathode während des Betriebes in weißglühendem Zustande -gehalten. Bei Diagnostikröhren erfährt der Brennfleck eine sehr starke Temperaturerhöhung, die leicht zu dem sogenannten Anstechen der Antikathode führen kann. Es sind schon die verschiedensten Mittel vorgeschlagen worden, um diese lokalen Überbeanspruchungen des Antikathodenspiegels zu beseitigen, beispielsweise hat man die Antikathode schräg gestellt und durch besondere Konstruktion dafür gesorgt, daß der Röntgenstrahl einen kreisförmigen Ouerschnitt besaß. Bei der Verwendung von Antikathoden aus Hafnium kann man unter der Voraussetzung von Röhren gleicher Bauart die Antikathode höher belasten als bei Verwendung von Antikathoden aus den üblichen Elektrodenmaterialien.The use of hafnium for anticathodes has various advantages compared to the materials previously used. As already mentioned, hafnium has a high melting point and is accordingly particularly insensitive to the high temperatures to which the anticathode of an X-ray tube, for example, is exposed. In therapy tubes in general, the whole anti-cathode during operation in incandescent state - held. In the case of diagnostic tubes, the focal point experiences a very strong increase in temperature, which can easily lead to the so-called piercing of the anticathode. A wide variety of means have already been proposed to eliminate this local overstressing of the anti-cathode mirror, for example the anti-cathode has been set at an angle and a special construction has ensured that the X-ray beam has a circular cross-section. When using anti-cathodes made of hafnium, provided that tubes of the same type are used, the anti-cathode can be subjected to a higher load than when using anti-cathodes made of conventional electrode materials.
