Tungsten Alloy Radioactive Shielding

Tungsten Alloy Radiation Shielding for Radioactive Source

Tungsten Alloy Radiation Shielding

The denser the material, the better able it is to protect from radiation. That is why heavy elements absorb X-Rays and gamma radiation particularly well.

Lead is a toxic material that is harmful to the environment and humans.

The density of tungsten is 60% higher than that of lead. That is why even thinner layers of tungsten are able to provide reliable shielding against radiation. Tungsten alloy is particularly suitable as a shielding material.

Applications include collimators for the medical industry, shielding blocks and nuclear equipment. Tungsten heavy alloy is an excellent material for use in radiation shielding (high energy photonic). Grades HA180 and HA185 are most popularly used for this application. These alloys are excellent materials for shielding and collimation due to their combination of radiographic density, machinability, strength, and low toxicity. Tungsten heavy alloy offers a superior protection level in comparison to lead at similar thickness and, unlike lead, resists deformation and can be accurately fastened

Advantages of Tungsten Alloy Radiation Shielding

High radiation absorption (superior to lead), low toxicity, safer than lead or depleted uranium. Simplified life cycle easily machined into complex geometries hardness, strength, ductility make for good durability good corrosion resistance
