  • Composite X-ray target
    Patent number: 6390876
    Abstract: An X-ray tube anode comprises a graphite ring, a target substrate applied onto the graphite ring and a target focal track applied onto the target substrate. The target focal track comprises a first refractory metal and the target substrate comprises a second refractory metal and at least one layer of a material that is characterized by characterized by a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) that is the same as the CTE of the target focal track or is intermediate between the CTE of the target focal track and the CTE of the substrate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 1, 2001
    Date of Patent: May 21, 2002
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Mark Gilbert Benz, Charles Gitahi Mukira, Thomas Robert Raber, Constantinos Minas, Gregory Alan Steinlage, Gregory Reznikov, Wayne Charles Hasz

  • X-ray target
    Publication number: 20010033637
    Abstract: An improved X-ray tube target comprises a refractory metal target substrate and a refractory metal focal track applied to the target substrate by a tape casting process. The X-ray tube target comprises a refractory metal target substrate and a refractory metal focal track formed on the target substrate to form a focal track/target substrate interface plane that varies less than about ±0.13 mm.
