1 Claim. (Cl. 250-149) The present invention comprises composite metal bodies consisting of members of refractory metal and copper joined in good heat-conducting relation and thereby being adapted for an X-ray apparatus has been found to be particularly troublesome in high voltage, high powered X-ray devices, such as shown for example in Fig. 1, and described in detail in Charlton and use as targets in X-ray devices. 5 Westendorp U. S. Patent 2,144,524, patented Target electrodes or targets as heretofore January 17, 1939. In such apparatus an extenfabricated have consisted of a charge-receiving sion tube i leads from the main evacuated champlate of a refractory metal, for example, tungber 2 and is terminated by a wall member which sten, imbedded in a backing plate of cast copper functions also as target. A source of cathode which functioned as a means for carrying away rays (electrons), as for example, an incandescent heat generated by the impingement of high vefilament (not shown in the drawing) is provided locity electrons on the tungsten plate during the in the main chamber. Abeam of electrons, which functioning of such target electrodes. may be suitably focussed by well understood In some forms of high-powdered X-ray devices means, is directed upon the end wall 3 of the a member of tungsten united with cast copper X-ray apparatus. The impact of the electrons has constituted both a discharge-receiving elecon the target generates X-rays which pass trode and a wall-member in the evacuated enough e a e nd a r d ed t0 t e 6X- velope in which the electron discharge for ro terior. It is important, therefore, that the target ducing X-rays was caused to operate.

In some cases the copper plate 6 is omitted. Upon these metal layers is placed a graphite plunger Ill. The mold 1 and its contents are heated to a sintering temperature, for example, to a temperature of about 1,000 to 1,050 C. The required heat conveniently is supplied electrically by passage of current supplied through water-coo1ed terminals H, [2 which, as conveniently indicated, are connected to electric conductors l3, l4, carrying suitable current. Pressure is applied as indicated by the arrow upon the powdered copper whereby the copper plate 6 the copper powder layer 8 and v the refractory plate 9 are united into a gas-impervious unitary structure.
As shown in Fig. 2 the resulting composite plate is joined to the end walls of the extension tube I and forms the end closure 3 which functions as a target.
