X-ray tubes - Import export

Shielding components made from tungsten, molybdenum and the tungsten heavy alloy Densimet® only allow radiation to pass where it is actually needed. During the generation of X-ray radiation our materials guarantee that environmental radiation exposure is kept to an absolute minimum. Plansee produces flat shielding components using an innovative, near net shape process. The result: The foils and sheets have a particularly isotrope and homogeneous microstructure free from any characteristic orientation. Possible products and applications are: — Shielding components for X-ray tubes — Shutter blades for computer tomographs — Shielding elements for detectors — Isotope containers for brachytherapy — Shielding elements for linear accelerators — Shieldings for oil and gas drilling

For the high-resolution devices used in general X-ray applications, mammography, angiography and computed tomography, Plansee develops and manufactures extremely robust X-ray anodes and components for X-ray tubes. The product range includes anodes made from molybdenum alloys such as TZM and MHC with focal tracks consisting of various tungsten-rhenium alloys. Plansee manufactures molybdenum-vanadium and molybdenum-niobium targets that are specially designed for use in mammography applications and which can be optionally equipped with precious metal focal tracks. The product range also comprises material combinations including copper and precious metals and brazed graphite elements on the metallic disc. As braze materials V/Ta/Zr composites, titanium, zirconium and other materials are used. Plansee supplies anodes as ready-to-use assemblies including the rotor, heat shield and shaft.
