Technology is described for an antiwetting coating attached to a substrate (e.g., metal substate) on a liquid metal container. In one example, the liquid metal container includes a first enclosure member, a second enclosure member, liquid metal, and an antiwetting coating. The first enclosure member includes a first substrate with a first surface. The second enclosure member includes a second substrate with a second surface. The first enclosure member is positioned proximate to the second enclosure member such that a gap is formed between the first surface and the second surface. The liquid metal positioned within the gap. An antiwetting coating attached to the first surface and/or the second surface. The antiwetting coating includes chromium nitride (CrN), dichromium nitride (Cr.sub.2N), chromium (III) oxide (Cr.sub.2O.sub.3), and/or titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN) attached to the first surface and/or the second surface.

A radiographic image diagnostic apparatus according to embodiments includes an X-ray tube, a holding member, and coil control circuitry. The X-ray tube includes: a cathode that emits electrons; coils that generate electromagnetic force; and an anode that rotates about a rotation axis in response to the electromagnetic force and to generate an X-ray by receiving the electrons. The holding member holds the X-ray tube so that the X-ray tube is movable. The coil control circuitry controls a current to be supplied to the coils based on at least one of a position of the X-ray tube, a direction of the X-ray tube, or a velocity of the X-ray tube.

A rotor component for a rotary x-ray anode has a carrier body and a spray coating. The carrier body is made from one of the following materials a refractory metal, a refractory metal-based alloy, iron, an iron-based alloy or combinations thereof, and the spray coating contains copper or a copper-based alloy. The carrier body is materially bonded to the spray coating at least in sections at a connecting surface. The rotor component is characterized in that the microstructure of the rotor component has no transition region at the connecting surface between the carrier body and the spray coating.

An X-ray generating device includes an electron beam generator configured to generate an electron beam; a target configured to generate X-rays in response to the electron beam incident on the target; an eccentric rotator configured to be eccentrically rotated to rotate the target while changing a position of the target; and a driver configured to rotationally drive the eccentric rotator.
