Metal envelope x-ray tubes are gaining in popularity. Explain some key advantages to a metal housing x-ray tube.
What will be an ideal response?
Metal envelope tubes place a ground on the metal casing. This feature minimizes the buildup of tungsten deposits on the inside of the envelope, as the envelope never builds up a positive charge to attract the electrons as they travel from cathode to anode. This is not possible with a glass envelope tube.
