Definitions

  • anode is supporte y ll be ings 5 which are I the form of c t ti of a X-ray secured to the stationary shaft 6 and connected tube having a disc-shaped rotary anode the imto the rotor.
  • the latter consists of a copper pact-disc for the electrons is provided on a disc jacket 1 provided with a lining 8 which consists consisting of refractory metal which is better of iron for the electromagnetic driving.
  • the workable than tungsten This measure has for jacket carries the shaft 4 and the tungsten its purpose to increase the thermal capacity of anode-disc 9 which is provided on a disc I0 consisting of metal which is better workable than tungsten, this disc having a rim ll.
  • the temperature to which the plate 10 can be heated depends upon the metal from which it is made. This tempera-- ture should not be exceeded during operation.
  • the disc-anode has a workin temperature of 1500 K.; the specific thermal radiation then being 6.5 watt/sq. cm. for tungsten.”
  • the temperature of the carrier plate may, for instance, be 1200 K.; this plate may consist of molybdenum or even of iron, the specific radiation for a well blackened surface then likewise being 6 watt/sq. cm.
  • the diameter consequently being 50 mms.
  • the temperature of the rotor must not exceed 600 K.
  • the radiation coeflicient of a blackened copper surface of 100 sq. cm. is approximately 2.95 X 10-
  • the rim In the event of a diameter of 4 cms. the rim has a height of 24 mms.
  • the anode-disc In the absence of the carrier member the anode-disc, in order to be able to withstand load, must have a surface of and a diameter of 67 mms.
  • the carrier-disc consists of titanium iron which isprovided with a black surface obtained by oxidation.
  • the relation between the black layer and the metal surface is not appreciably affected when the carrier-disc is heated to incandescence, so that, in
  • an X-ray 'tube employed for screening and having a discshaped rotary anode can be loaded with greatity to a degree 50% higher than it was possible in the past.
  • this improvement is not appreciably afiected.
  • An X-ray tube having a rotating anode comprisingan anode disc of tungsten, and a supporting disc of titanium iron provided with a black oxidized surface, said supporting disc being provided with a rim portion having a surface area for radiating at least one-third of the heat produced in said anode disc when said anode disc is operated at the maximum operating temperature.
  • An X-ray tube having a rotating anode comprising an anode disc of tungsten, and a heatradiating cup-shaped supporting member for the anode disc of black oxidized titanium-iron provided with a plurality of apertures in the rim portion thereof, the rim portion having a surface area for which at least one-third of the heat produced in the anode disc at the maximum operating temperature thereof is radiated from the supporting member.
