Description
DEUTSCHESGERMAN
Zum Vakuumabschluß von Entladungsgefäßen, insbesondere von Röntgenröhren, bei denen elektromagnetische Wellen kleiner Wellenlänge außerhalb des Gefäßes nutzbar gemacht werden sollen, wurden bisher bestimmte Glassorten, z. B. Lindemann-Glas, oder dünne Metallfolien verwendet. Wegen des Druckunterschiedes auf beiden Seiten der Wandung ist jedoch eine bestimmte Dicke der Folie erforderlich und die Oberflächengröße sehr begrenzt. Bekanntlich sinkt die Durchlässigkeit für Strahlen mit der Ordnungszahl des Elementes, so daß beispielsweise die Durchlässigkeit der häufig verwendeten Aluminiumfolie 17mal kleiner ist als die einer Berylliumfolie gleicher Stärke. Es können somit bei gleicher Strahlendurchlässigkeit bei leichtatomigem Material größere Dicken verwendet werden als bei höheratomigem, so daß die Verwendung eines Berylliumfensters stets angestrebt wurde und auch bereits bekannt ist. Das handelsübliche Beryllium ist aber in dünner Schicht nicht vakuumdicht, so daß bei Außenfenstern eine derart dicke Scheibe verwendet werden mußte, daß der Vorteil der durch die niedrige Ordnungszahl bedingten geringen Absorption durch die erforderliche Dicke der Scheibe fortfällt. Es ist zwar gelungen, vakuumdichtes Beryllium in dünnen Scheiben herzustellen, doch ist das Herstellungsverfahren sehr schwierig und kostspielig.For vacuum sealing of discharge vessels, especially X-ray tubes, where electromagnetic Waves of small wavelengths outside of the vessel are to be made usable, were previously certain types of glass, e.g. B. Lindemann glass, or thin metal foils are used. Because of the pressure difference However, a certain thickness of the film is required on both sides of the wall and the Surface size very limited. As is well known, the permeability for rays decreases with the ordinal number of the element, so that, for example, the permeability of the frequently used aluminum foil 17 times is smaller than that of a beryllium foil of the same thickness. It can thus with the same radiation permeability larger thicknesses are used for light atomic material are than with higher atomic, so that the use of a beryllium window is always sought was and is already known. The commercially available beryllium is not vacuum-tight in a thin layer, so that such a thick pane had to be used for exterior windows that the advantage of low absorption due to the low atomic number due to the required thickness of the pane no longer applies. It has been possible to produce vacuum-tight beryllium in thin slices, but it is Manufacturing process very difficult and expensive.
Es ist ferner bekannt, Beryllium zur Verstärkung von Metallfolienfenstern zu verwenden, die gleichzeitig zur Vakuumdichtung dienen, doch verringern die Metallfolien die Strahlendurchlässigkeit ganz beträchtlich. It is also known to use beryllium to reinforce metal foil windows, the same time serve for vacuum sealing, but the metal foils reduce the radiation permeability quite considerably.
Weiterhin ist es bekannt, bei den üblichen stärkeren Berylliumfenstern die Verbindungsstellen zwischen Berylliumfenster und Gefäßwand mit einem abdichtenden Lack oder Emailleüberzug zu versehen. Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ein vakuumdichtes Strahlenfenster aus Beryllium für Entladungsgefäße, insbesondere Röntgenröhren, bei dem eine Berylliumscheibe verwendet ist, die infolge ihrer geringen Dicke nicht vauumdicht und die auf mindestens einer Seite mit einem dünnen, leichtatomigen, vakuumdichten Überzug versehen ist.Furthermore, it is known in the usual stronger beryllium windows, the connection points between To provide the beryllium window and the vessel wall with a sealing lacquer or enamel coating. object The invention is a vacuum-tight radiation window made of beryllium for discharge vessels, in particular X-ray tubes in which a beryllium disc is used, which due to its small thickness is not vacuum-tight and on at least one side with a thin, light atomic, vacuum-tight coating is provided.
Es hat sich ein sehr dünner Überzug gewisser Emaillesorten oder ein dünner Lackanstrich als sehr
geeignet erwiesen. Wird beispielsweise ein dünnflüssiger Einbrennlack oder ein dünnflüssiger Silikonlack
benutzt, so ist es vorteilhaft, diesen nach dem Einsetzen des Berylliumabschlusses in die Röhre während
des Pumpprozesses aufzustreichen, so daß er tief in die Poren eindringt. Von der Gesamtoberfläche kann
der überflüssige Lack dann wieder abgerieben werden, so daß die Durchlässigkeit fast unverändert bleibt. Es
ist also vorteilhaft, den Überzug auf der dem Vakuum abgewandten Seite anzubringen. Die Figur zeigt
Vakuumdichtes Strahlenfenster
aus Beryllium für EntladungsgefäßeA very thin coating of certain types of enamel or a thin coat of varnish has proven to be very suitable. If, for example, a thin stoving lacquer or a thin silicone lacquer is used, it is advantageous to spread it on after the beryllium seal has been inserted into the tube during the pumping process so that it penetrates deep into the pores. The superfluous varnish can then be rubbed off again from the entire surface, so that the permeability remains almost unchanged. It is therefore advantageous to apply the coating on the side facing away from the vacuum. The figure shows a vacuum-tight radiation window

in zum Teil schematischer Darstellung ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung. In die Röhrenwandung 1 aus Metall ist das Berylliumfenster 2 eingelegt, das auf der dem Vakuum abgewandten Seite mit einem vakuumdichten Überzug 3 aus Emaille oder Lack versehen ist. Der Deutlichkeit halber ist dieser Überzug übertrieben stark dargestellt.in a partially schematic representation, an embodiment of the invention. In the tube wall 1 made of metal, the beryllium window 2 is inserted, the Provided on the side facing away from the vacuum with a vacuum-tight coating 3 made of enamel or lacquer is. For the sake of clarity, this coating is shown exaggerated.
Es kann sich auch empfehlen, den Überzug bis über die Verbindungsnaht zwischen Berylliumfenster und Gefäßwandung sich erstrecken zu lassen (Fig. 2).It may also be advisable to extend the coating over the joint between the beryllium window and To let the vessel wall extend (Fig. 2).
