Abstract

The invention pertains to a method for the production of an anode for X-ray tubes, and the invention also pertains to the resulting anode. In the invention, a coating that emits X-ray radiation is applied by inductive vacuum plasma spraying onto the base element. Using this method, an improved fatigue crack resistance and a reduced roughening of the coating on the anode is achieved.
