ABSTRACT:
A rotatable x-ray target assembly and process for manufacturing the same is provided for an x-ray tube. The x-ray target assembly comprises an x-ray target member having an opening disposed therethrough and a support member having: a mounting surface disposed transversely to the axis of rotation, a lower surface of the target member being disposed on the mounting surface; and, a threaded stem extending from said mounting surface through the opening of the target member. The support member also comprises a nut adapted to receive the threaded stem, the nut engaging an upper surface of the target member. The target member is secured to the support member by brazing material disposed between the lower surface of the target member and the mounting surface, a first portion of the brazing material being diffused into the target member and a second portion of the brazing material being diffused into the mounting surface of the support member. With such arrangement, the target member is structurally bonded to the support member. Thus, the target member is substantially prevented from slipping on the support member during the rotation of the x-ray target member during operation of the x-ray tube, thereby preventing the target member from becoming imbalanced on the support member and substantially eliminating vibration of the target member during rotation.
