Abstract
An X-ray-tube target assembly includes an annular monolithic X-ray-tube target shaft and a monolithic X-ray-tube target cap. The target shaft is a stepped target shaft. The target cap is inertially welded to the target shaft. The target assembly is made by inertially welding together a monolithic solid cylinder and a monolithic solid X-ray-tube target cap and then machining the target shaft to be annular and to have the step.
