Abstract

The apparatus is an anode for an X-ray tube which is rotated at high speeds during operation. The anode include a plate of refractory material with high mechanical strength. On both faces of the plate are fixed two blocks of light weight refractory material. One of the blocks is formed of several sub-blocks fixed to one another through brazing. A layer of X-ray emitting mattering is deposited on the outer surface of these sub-blocks.
