Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A rotary anode for an X-ray tube includes a ceramic base body that carries a focal path for emitting X-rays during electron irradiation. The ceramic base body is made of a mixture of silicon carbide and at least one high temperature-resistant diboride.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A rotary anode for an X-ray tube, the rotary anode comprising: a ceramic base body that carries a focal path for emitting X-rays during electron irradiation, wherein the ceramic base body comprises a mixture of silicon carbide and 1-50 total volume percentage of high temperature-resistant diborides, wherein the high-temperature-resistant diborides comprise TaB 2 , and wherein the rotary anode is rotatable at a rotational frequency of 300 Hz-400 Hz at an operating temperature of 1000° C.-1500° C. 2. The rotary anode as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the high temperature-resistant diborides further comprise TiB 2 . 3. The rotary anode as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ceramic base body has a thermal coefficient of expansion of 5.2·10 −6 K −1 to 6·10 −6 K −1 . 4. The rotary anode as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a thermal coefficient of expansion of the ceramic base body is adapted to a thermal coefficient of expansion of the focal path. 5. The rotary anode as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the focal path comprises tungsten and 5-10 wt. % alloyed rhenium. 6. The rotary anode as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the thermal coefficient of expansion of the ceramic base body is 5.2·10 −6 K −1 to 6·10 −6 K −1 . 7. The rotary anode as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ceramic base body has a specific thermal capacity of 1.1 J/gK. 8. The rotary anode as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ceramic base body has a thermal conductivity of 75-80 W/mK at the operating temperature of 1000° C.-1500° C.
