The anode angle refers to the angle the target surface of the anode sits at in relation to the vertical. Most x-ray tubes have an anode angle of 12-15 degrees but greater or lesser angles can also be used depending on the application.
What is anode in xray tube?
The anode (or anticathode) is the component of the x-ray tube where x-rays are produced. It is a piece of metal, shaped in the form of a bevelled disk with a diameter between 55 and 100 mm, and thickness of 7 mm, connected to the positive side of the electrical circuit.
What is an anode target?
The anode converts the energy of incident electrons into x-rays dissipating heat as a byproduct. Most x-ray tube anodes are made of tungsten (the target material). Tungsten has a high atomic number (Z=74) and a high melting point of 3370°C with a correspondingly low rate of evaporation.
