As an industrial production structural component, molybdenum rods have the advantages of smaller concentration points, high power, fast heat dissipation and long-term operation in rotating anode X-ray tubes than the original fixed anode X-ray tubes.
In use, the rotating shaft of the X-ray tube supports the molybdenum-based tungsten target that is in a high temperature state and rotates at high speed, and conducts the heat of the tungsten target to the rotating part. Since the tungsten target often starts and stops during operation, the rotating shaft will bear a heavy load. The impact torque can easily cause the shaft to break during use, so the molybdenum rod used as the X-ray tube shaft should have special mechanical properties. A special forging process is used in production to produce molybdenum rods that meet the requirements of the X-ray tube rotation axis. It is currently applied to the forging production of other molybdenum and molybdenum alloy rods in the promotion of project technical achievements, and has achieved good results.
