Abstract
A method for making a rotating X-ray tube provides a rotating anode having an integral stem. Initially, a cathode which emits electrons is provided. Next, a preheated anode target which radiates x-ray in response to bombardment by the electrons is provided. The method further comprises the steps of providing an anode stem and inertia welding the preheated anode target to the anode stem to form a rotating anode with an integral stem.
