Abstract
An X-ray anode is produced by scoring at least a region of a surface of the anode, on which electrons are incident, with a number of defined microslits, thereby making the surface, or at least the region thereof, highly thermally stressable.
Claims18
An x-ray anode comprising:
- an anode body having a surface region struck by electrons;
- and
- said region of said surface having scoring formed by a plurality of defined microslits being arranged in a substantially hexagonal pattern with defined spacings of the microslits relative to each other.
A method for producing an x-ray anode comprising the steps of:
- providing an anode body having a surface with a region adapted to be struck by electrons;
- and
- scoring at least a portion of said region of said surface with a plurality of defined microslits in a hexagonal pattern, said microslits having defined spacing relative to each other.
