  • INSULATOR WITH CONDUCTIVE DISSIPATIVE COATING
    Publication number: 20220139663
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a conductive coating on an insulator of an x-ray tube and a method for applying the conductive coating. The method may use a first process, such as brazing, to join a support to the insulator and a second process, such as vapor deposition, to apply the conductive coating onto a substrate surface of the insulator. The second process may be carried out after the first process without any damage to x-ray tube insulator assembly.
    Type: Application

  • ELECTRON COLLECTOR WITH THERMAL INSERT
    Publication number: 20210249213
    Abstract: An electron collector for an x-ray tube having an electron collector base and an electron collector insert. The electron collector insert may be composed of a thermally enhanced material and is used to mitigate thermal stress from the electron collector. The electron collector insert may further prevent cracking and thermal fatigue of the electron collector.
