Abstract
Abstract An X-ray tube anode consists of a difficultly meltable plate which carries a layer of black substance outside of the focal point path, specifically upon its under surface. The invention is particularly characterized in that the black substance of the layer consists of a heating product of a mixture which includes titanium dioxide and additions of at least one other oxide which melts with difficulty.
