Definitions
- An X-ray tube anode produced in accordance with the principles of the present invention is characterized in that the black material of the layer consists of a heating product of a mixture which contains titanium dioxide and additions of at least one other oxide which melts with difficulty.
- additions can be used aluminum oxide Mo, and calcium oxide CaO.
- a mixture of 50 percent TiO, and 50 percent A1 a deeply black substance is produced which has a high reflection coefficient in the entire temperature range.
- this material does not enter into any reactions below the melting point of the layer with materials generally used for the making of rotary anodes, such as molybdenum, tungsten, tantalum and niobium, and steam pressure is very small.
- a further advantage is that these substances excellently adhere to the cleaned and roughened outer surfaces of these materials.
- the roughening is usually accomplished by sand jets and the cleaning by defattening, treatment with ultrasound, cauterizing or glowing.
- the additions of TiO greatly increase the stability of the layer without affecting the reflection action to any substantial extent, as long as the TiO, content does not drop below about percent.
- a mixture of 68 percent Ca() and 32 percent TiO for example, has a melting point of above 2lO0C.
- X-ray tube anodes can be coated with the material of the present invention preferably for example, by plasma spraying or a similar process.
- enamelling methods are also useable in that, for example, a mixture of the two oxides is applied as a pulverulent layer by means of a binder upon the surfaces to be coated and then is heated for about one half hour at a temperature of about l600C.
- the selections of the temperature and of heating duration are not critical, they must be only provided so as to attain the desired reaction and adhesion.
- the coating which was originally white will have a deep black well reflecting coloring.
- the thickness of the larger is so measured 2 that a good covering is provided. Depending upon the granulation of the material thicknesses from a few t to about 100 u are sufficient.
- FIGURE is a perspective view of an X-ray tube 1 with a partly broken off case and a broken off rotary anode plate.
- the glass case 2 carries at one end the cathode 3 with connecting lines 4, 5 and 6 and at the other end the rotary anode 7 consisting of the rotor 8 and the anode plate 9.
- the case 2, the cathode 3 and the rotary anode 7 are all constructed in the usual known manner.
- the plate 9 has a carrying body 10 of a molybdenumtungsten alloy which contains 5 percent tungsten and percent molybdenum in addition to unavoidable impurities. Surfaces l2 and I3 struck by electrons are inclined at different angles to the plate axle 1] and are coated with a layer 14 which is 1.5 mm thick and consists ot a tungsten alloy containing 10 percent rhenium.
- the plate 9 is coated upon its bottom side, at the edge and also upon its inner upper surface limited by the surface 12, with a layer 15 which is a reaction product of 56 percent M 0 and 44 percent TiO it is applied according to one of the above-described methods and is 20 p. thick.
- rays are produced by applying high voltage between the cathode 3 and the anode 7.
- the heating voltage of the glow cathodes located in the screen 3' of the cathode 3, is put on between the line 5 and one of the lines 4, 6.
- the focal point paths l2, 13 located upon the upper surface of the plate 9 can be struck separately or jointly by electrons in order to send out X-rays.
- the paths l2 and 13 differ from each other only in that the path 12 is lowered by l0 relatively to the vertical line of the plate axle 11, while in the path 13 this angle amounts to l5".
- the application of the black coating 15 accelerates the ray emission and the heating, so that the cooling time period is shortened.
- the cooling time period of l500to 1000C is already reduced to less than one half even when the coating is applied only to the bottom side of the plate.
- An anode for an X-ray tube having a zone available for electron bombardment and, distinct from said zone, an external layer of black material comprising the reaction product obtained by heating a mixture containing not less than 20 percent of titanium dioxide and at least one of the refractory oxides, aluminum oxide and calcium oxide.
