Abstract

See full text

The present invention is directed to an improved process for manufacturing a rotary anode for an x-ray tube, said rotary anode comprising a molybdenum support member on which a target layer consisting essentially of tungsten or a tungsten-rhenium alloy is provided by plasma spraying, the improvement comprising: a) preheating the support member to a temperature of from 1150.degree. C. to 1600.degree. C., b) placing the support member in a gaseous atmosphere containing hydrogen and having a pressure of from 0.5 to 0.9 bars and wherein hydrogen is present in a molar ratio of hydrogen to tungsten dioxide of from 5:1 to 50:1, and c) plasma spraying the target layer onto the support layer in said gaseous atmosphere.The invention is also directed to the anode produced by the process.
