ABSTRACT:
The present invention concerns a support of carbonaceous material for a rotary target of X-ray tubes. The support is formed of two parts which are fixed with respect to each other, one part being of a carbon/carbon composite which provides mechanical strength and the other part being of polycrystalline graphite for receiving a refractory metal, by virtue of its coefficient of expansion. A thermal contact is provided between the two parts. The invention is especially applicable to targets of X-ray tubes which rotate at a high speed, 20,000 RPM and above.
