Abstract: A rotating X-ray anode for generating X-radiation has an annular main body made of carbon-based material, an annular focal track covering, which is arranged on a focal track side of the main body, and a metal connection component, which is arranged radially inside relative to the main body. A radially outer portion of the connection component is formed by a tubular metal adapter. The radial outside surface of the adapter is at least partly joined, face to face and integrally, to at least a portion of the radial inside surface of the main body. An integral joining zone between the main body and the adapter extends over at least 75 percent of the area of the radial inside surface of the main body.

Abstract: A rotary x-ray anode with an integrated liquid metal bearing outer shell has an anode disc made of Mo or a Mo-based alloy formed with a hole, which is formed centrally in the region of the axis of rotation and extends in the axial direction at least through part of the anode disc, and a bearing bushing made of Mo or a Mo-based alloy. The bearing bushing is connected to the anode disc via a material bond and its inner wall extends the hole in the anode disc. At least an axial portion of an inner wall of the hole in the anode disc and at least an axial portion of an inner wall of the bearing bushing are formed circumferentially as a liquid metal bearing running surface and they form at least a part of a liquid metal bearing outer shell. There is also described a corresponding production method.

Abstract: A rotary X-ray anode has a support body and a focal track formed on the support body. The support body and the focal track are produced as a composite by powder metallurgy. The support body is formed from molybdenum or a molybdenum-based alloy and the focal track is formed from tungsten or a tungsten-based alloy. Here, in the conclusively heat-treated rotary X-ray anode, at least one portion of the focal track is located in a non-recrystallized and/or in a partially recrystallized structure.

Abstract: An anode with a linear main direction of extent for an x-ray device, has an anode body and a focal track layer, which is connected to the anode body in a material-bonding manner on a focal track layer volume portion of the anode body. At least one cooling channel for the cooling of the anode body and the focal track layer is arranged in the interior of the anode body and at least the focal track layer volume portion is formed of a material with at least a basic matrix of refractory metal. The focal track layer volume portion extends as far as to the cooling channel.

Abstract: A rotating x-ray anode has an annular focal track. The surface of the focal track has a directed ground structure. Over the circumference of the annular focal track and over the radial extent of the focal track, the alignment of the ground structure is inclined relative to a tangential reference direction in the respective surface portion in each case by an angle that lies in the range from 15°, including, up to and including 90°. A corresponding method for producing a rotating x-ray anode is described.

Abstract: A rotary anode for a rotary anode X-ray tube has an anode disc with a supporting portion. A focal track is located in the vicinity of an outer diameter of the anode disc. The supporting portion has inhomogeneous material properties along a radial coordinate of the anode disc to provide a high mechanical load capacity in the area of an inner diameter of the anode disc and a high thermal load capacity at the focal track. These measures provide for a rotary anode for a rotary anode X-ray tube that meets the extreme thermal and mechanical loads during operation. Further, a method for manufacturing such a rotary anode is described as well.
