Abstract
An intermediate layer comprising several sub-layers is sandwiched between the support and a target layer of a rotary X-ray anode. The sub-layer of the intermediate layer which contacts the support and the sub-layer of the intermediate layer which contacts the target layer both consist of pure rhenium. Interposed between these two sub-layers is a further sub-layer consisting of a rhenium alloy containing at least one carbide-forming metal, for example tungsten, tantalum or hafnium. This construction of the intermediate layer provides a barrier against carbon diffusion, which barrier has substantially the heat conduction properties of metals and which offers a sufficient protection against the penetration of carbon into the target layer, even at temperaturers above 1500 K.
