Rotating anode for x-ray tube, x-ray tube, x-ray inspection apparatus, and method for manufacturing rotating anode for x-ray tube

Abstract

A rotating anode for an X-ray tube according to embodiments includes, as a laminate, at least a target layer receiving thermal electrons and generating X-rays, a first base layer, and a second base layer. The target layer is mainly including at least one of tungsten, molybdenum, niobium, tantalum, rhenium, titanium, zirconium, or vanadium. The first base layer is mainly including molybdenum and contains at least one carbide selected from titanium carbide, hafnium carbide, zirconium carbide, tantalum carbide, and niobium carbide. The second base layer is mainly including molybdenum and has lower oxygen and carbon contents than the first base layer.
