X-ray tubes meant for medical applications are equipped with a tungsten emitter coil and also a rotary (or static) anode made of tungsten or tungsten-rhenium. Here, the metal’s low vapor pressure, as well as its excellent heat conductivity and the wavelength of the ensuing X-rays, are important.

Directly heated cathodes or heater coils for indirectly heated cathodes, in cathode ray tubes are used in TV sets, computer displays, X-ray tubes, electron tubes, klystrons, and magnetrons for microwave ovens.

T&D supplies rhenium tungsten and pure tungsten wire, we also make anodes based on the specifications of your technical designs. Rhenium tungsten and pure tungsten discs are available.
