Abstract
An improved X-ray tube target comprises a refractory metal target substrate and a refractory metal focal track applied to the target substrate by a tape casting process. The X-ray tube target comprises a refractory metal target substrate and a refractory metal focal track formed on the target substrate to form a focal track/target substrate interface plane that varies less than about ±0.13 mm.
Claims9
