A rotating X-ray anode for generating X-radiation has an annular main body made of carbon-based material, an annular focal track covering, which is arranged on a focal track side of the main body, and a metal connection component, which is arranged radially inside relative to the main body. A radially outer portion of the connection component is formed by a tubular metal adapter. The radial outside surface of the adapter is at least partly joined, face to face and integrally, to at least a portion of the radial inside surface of the main body. An integral joining zone between the main body and the adapter extends over at least 75 percent of the area of the radial inside surface of the main body.

Rotating x-ray anode

A powder-metallurgical sintered molybdenum part which is present as a solid body has the following composition: a molybdenum content of ≥99.93% by weight, a boron content 'B' of ≥3 ppmw and a carbon content “C” of ≥3 ppmw, with a total content “BaC” of carbon and boron being in a range of 15 ppmw≤“BaC”≤50 ppmw, an oxygen content “O” in a range of 3 ppmw≤“O”≤20 ppmw, a maximum tungsten content of ≤330 ppmw and a maximum proportion of other impurities of ≤300 ppmw. A powder-metallurgical process for producing such a sintered molybdenum part is also provided.

Sintered molybdenum part

A tubular target formed of molybdenum or a molybdenum alloy has an oxygen content of less than 50 &#x3bc;g/g, a density of greater than 99% of the theoretical density, and an average grain size of less than 100 &#x3bc;m. The molybdenum or molybdenum alloy tube may be produced by extrusion. In one embodiment, the molybdenum tube has a backing tube of titanium or titanium alloy. In an embodiment, the molybdenum tube has a varying wall thickness with an increase towards its ends.

Tubular target and production method

A thermal shielding system for thermally shielding a batch space of high-temperature furnaces includes at least one shielding element. The shielding element has an encasing wall formed of refractory metal sheet(s) and a ceramic material accommodated in the wall. The ceramic material is present in a particulate and/or fibrous structure and it is based on zirconium oxide (ZrO)

Thermal shielding system

A tubular target is formed of molybdenum or a molybdenum alloy which has an oxygen content of less than 50 &#x3bc;g/g, a density of greater than 99% of the theoretical density and an average grain size of less than 100 &#x3bc;m. The molybdenum or molybdenum alloy tube may be produced by extrusion and it is formed with walls having a wall thickness that increases towards the ends of the tube. The molybdenum tube has a backing tube of titanium or titanium alloy that is attached inside with a material bond connection. Alternatively, the backing tube is formed of austenitic steel or a copper alloy.
