Charge Dissipative Coatings

Charge Dissipative Coatings Benefits

• Adoption of CD coated power tubes improves power tube performance and significantly reduces the conditioning time providing added capacity and avoiding further investments in conditioning equipment
• Enables higher operating voltages - crucial for high-resolution imaging in X-ray and CT scanning equipment
• Optimised charge dissipation – enhances system reliability by reducing secondary electron emissions and maintaining ideal Specific Surface Resistance (SSR)
• Enables smaller and lightweight X-ray sources by helping to reduce system size enabling mobile X-ray machines superior imaging resolution

Multi-phase coatings (black) produce a conductive ceramic surface that enables operation of power tubes at very high voltages. The flexibility of these coatings means that surface resistivity can be tailored. These coatings are also excellent for enabling size reduction which lowers weight and hence total cost of ownership of our customers’ systems.

Our latest range of coatings use a blend of titanium and chromium oxides that provide semi-conducting layers and suppress the emission of secondary electrons, to meet the future technical requirements of X-ray sources.

Why choose Morgan CD coatings for your project?

• We supply multiple coated samples with varying Specific Surface Resistance to support your development needs. Our team of experts works closely with you to determine the optimal coating specifications for your applications.
• Our fully automatic robot system ensures high reproducibility, production continuity and short development times. 
• Since the first series production of CD Coating in 2020, we have continued to develop our materials and processes. We have been working on new applications and new areas of use, for example the coating of inner diameters e.g. back-scatter X-ray tubes. Our coatings can be applied to inner and outer surfaces.
• Our continued CD Coating success has prompted us to make major investments. Initially in more staff, more production space, expansion of the machinery and even investment in an additional, larger robot to be able to coat particularly large components.
• We can measure leakage currents generated on the surface on a wide variety of design shapes. These leakage currents are documented for each product and made available to the customer. Giving 100% certainty that the product has the required properties.
