TY - JOUR AU - Reznikov, G. AB - Abstract Niobium alloy C103 (Nb-10Hf-1Ti) is being investigated for use as an anode shaft material for x-ray tubes. This shaft is used to support the x-ray target and to inhibit heat flow from the target to the rest of the anode. C103 is an attractive shaft material because it has a higher thermal resistance than the conventionally used material—titanium-zirconium-molybdenum (TZM). The primary challenge to using C103 is the joining of the shaft to the powder-metallurgy TZM target. This article discusses a variety of approaches toward accomplishing this, including direct diffusion bonding, the use of a diffusion-enhancing interlayer, and the incorporation of a ductile metal insert into the x-ray target.
