ABSTRACT:
A target for the anode of an X-ray tube is disclosed which greatly increases both the individual length of time which an X-ray tube may be operated and the total useful life of an X-ray tube. A conventional X-ray target is provided with one or more cavities within each of which a slug of material having a relatively low melting point with respect to the base of the target is encapsulated and sealed by means of a diffusion bonding method. The slug material is chosen so that heat which builds up when the target is operated causes the slug to melt and absorb large quantities of heat produced by the generation of X-rays so that the target as a whole is capable of sustaining a greater total heat input.
