ABSTRACT:
A rotating anode X-ray target has a matrix structure such as a carbon-carbon matrix and a high Z material imbedded inside this matrix structure. The high Z material may be a refractory metal with atomic number at least 72, its alloy or carbide and may be imbedded in the matrix either as discrete particles or as a non-discrete layer. Such a target can be made by any of a number of known methods such as chemical vapor deposition and chemical vapor infiltration. Without a TZM layer or a braze required for holding together an x-ray-producing surface layer and a carbon heat storage material, the target can be made lighter and can be operated at higher temperatures.
