Abstract: In a high-voltage apparatus according to this invention, a predetermined voltage is applied to a rotating anode after waiting until the number of rotations increases to such an extent that the rotating anode is not damaged. That is, X-rays of desired intensity are already outputted from a point of time when the voltage is applied to the rotating anode. Therefore, diagnosis can be performed immediately after the voltage is applied to the rotating anode. That is, unlike the prior art, there is no need to wait until X-ray intensity becomes suitable for diagnosis after X-ray emission is started, and there is no need to irradiate the patient with unnecessary X-rays. Therefore, the patient can be inhibited from being irradiated with excessive X-rays (with an improvement made in a response from when the operator gives instructions for starting fluoroscopy until emission of X-rays suitable for diagnosis).

A titanium alloy having a high strength and high Young's modulus for a golf club face comprising, by mass %, 4.7 to 5.5% of Al, 0.5 to 1.4% of Fe, 0.03% or less of N, O which satisfies an [O] eq (oxygen equivalent value) of 0.25 to 0.34% calculated by formula (1), and a balance of Ti and unavoidable impurities.

[O]eq=[O]+2.

The titanium alloy for a golf club face according to the present invention comprises, in percent by mass, 1.0 to 3.5% of Al, 0.5 to 1.4% of Fe, 0.2 to 0.5% or O and 0.002 to 0.030% of N, and the balance of Ti with inevitable impurities, wherein an ?-phase is strengthened by combined addition of O and Al, and inexpensive Fe is selected as a ?-phase stabilizing element, leading to high strength and high Young's modulus in combination. The content of Al causing deterioration of hot workability is limited to a low value, leading to low rolling load during hot rolling, and thus flaws and edge cracking are unlikely to occur during hot rolling.
