Tungsten oxide coated X-ray tube frame and anode assembly |
摘要 |
An x-ray tube having a coated x-ray tube frame inner surface and a coated anode assembly is provided. The x-ray tube includes an x-ray tube frame in which an anode assembly is disposed therein. A cathode assembly is also disposed within the x-ray tube frame that emits an electron beam to strike a target surface of the anode assembly and form x-rays. A plasma-sprayed tungsten oxide coating is formed on an inner surface of the x-ray tube frame and on the anode assembly to dissipate heat created by the electron beam. |

1. An x-ray tube comprising:
an x-ray tube frame; an anode assembly disposed within the x-ray tube frame; a cathode assembly disposed within the x-ray tube frame that emits an electron beam to strike a target surface of the anode assembly and form x-rays; and a plasma-sprayed tungsten oxide coating formed on an inner surface of the x-ray tube frame and on the anode assembly to dissipate heat created by the electron beam; wherein the plasma-sprayed tungsten oxide coating covers an entirety of the target surface of the anode assembly so as to enhance heat transfer from the anode assembly to the x-ray tube frame. |
