ABSTRACT:
In a rotary anode X-ray tube, comprising an anode disc which is mounted on a rotary shaft and which comprises a basic body of graphite, the anode disc is subject to such loads during the operation of the X-ray tube that a connection between the disc and the shaft is liable to fracture if it consists of pressed and sintered graphite. In order to counteract fracturing, the basic body is connected to the shaft by a bushing of pyrolytic or microporous graphite. A pyrolytic graphite bushing may be formed by deposition from the gaseous phase in situ or on a mandril, and should have a radial direction of growth. Both materials have a high strength and, moreover, a lower thermal conductivity in the radial direction. As a result, not only is the strength improved, but the thermal loading of the shaft bearings is also reduced.
