The small craters in the target of the anode of an x-ray tube are known as what?
Pitting of the anode's focal track is caused by vaporizing of the tungsten disk, a result of the enormous heat produced during normal operation. Pitting reduces the efficiency of the tube.
Causes of x-ray tube failures?
failure of excessive heat by radiation, conduction and convection, bearing failures or glass envelope breaking pitting of tungsten target, arcing, filament failure.
What is the target material used in linear accelerator?
Tungsten. Gold or uranium may also be used but it is usually tungsten.
When cathode rays strike a metal target say tungsten what happens?
x-rays are emitted
Is it pitting or non pitting pedal oedema in filariasis?
non pitting
What is the pitting potential give examples of factors which influence the value of the pitting potential?
Pitting potential is the potential where the pitting start and this is noticed when the current is suddenly increased that also mean below this value, now pitting corrosion will initiate Many parameters can effluence the pitting potential such as Temperature, halides ions, surface finishing of the alloy and also state of the electrolyte , is it flowing or stagnant.
What is nonpitting edema?
Non-pitting edema is a type of swelling. Pitting edema occurs when the swollen area is pressed and remains indented. The indentation does not occur with non-pitting edema.
What is pitting in engineering?
Pitting is when there are small holes starting to appear in steel often caused by corrosion/rust
What causes destructive gear pitting?
Pitting= Too high surface pressure on gear or lack of lubrication
What is pitting oedema?
Pitting edema is a swollen area that will give when pressed and retain a depression for a minute , or so.
Can tungsten dissolve?
can you dissolve tungsten
Is tungsten magnetic?
Tungsten is not Magnetic :(
