What else can I help you with?
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.
Is it pitting or non pitting pedal oedema in filariasis?
non pitting
When cathode rays strike a metal target say tungsten what happens?
x-rays are emitted
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.
Is tungsten tougher that tungsten carbide?
No. Tungsten is an element, where as tungsten carbide is an alloy, or a mixture of elements (tungsten, nickel, tantalum, niobium, titanium, and chromium). Tungsten carbide is much easier to work into styles and designs, but does not change the hardness of the metal.
What is pitting oedema?
Pitting edema is a swollen area that will give when pressed and retain a depression for a minute , or so.
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
Is tungsten magnetic?
Yes, tungsten is not magnetic. Tungsten is a diamagnetic material, which means it is slightly repelled by a magnetic field.
What is the molecular formula for tungsten?
The chemical symbol for Tungsten is W. (Tungsten is also known as Wolfram.)
