Tungsten Alloy Is Suitable Material for Gamma Radiation Protection

 Tungsten Alloy Is Suitable Material for Gamma Radiation Protection

Tungsten alloy is ideal for shielding against gamma radiation. The very high density of Chinatungsten tungsten shielding (more than 60% denser than lead) allows a reduction in the physical size of shielding components, without compromising their rigidity or the effectiveness of the shielding characteristics.

Why Use Tungsten as Replacement to Lead?

Why Use Tungsten as Replacement to Lead?

 Lead's popularity is mainly due to its outstanding physical properties: high density, ease of casting and fabrication, and malleability.

Tungsten is a much suitable material for lead replacement applications. It has an even higher density than lead. However, due to its extremely high melting temperature, molding tungsten into a shape is complex and costly. Still, tungsten can be formed into solids through a process called sintering. This is where tungsten and other metal powders are pressed into shape and bound in a special furnace.

Another approach to using tungsten powder as a lead replacement is currently used by many companies that manufacture non-toxic thermoplastic composite materials. These materials are mostly used for injection molding processes contain a variety of polymers and fillers.

Tungsten Alloy Nuclear Research Radiation Shielding

Nuclear research establishments use nuclear reactors or cyclotrons to study or create radioactive materials. Tungsten alloy is used in research activities as collimators, devices which guide or focus beams of radiation, or containers for radioactive isotopes. 

Tungsten alloy is ideal for shielding against both X- and Gamma radiation. The very high density of tungsten shielding allows a reduction in the physical size of shielding components, without compromising the effectiveness of the shielding characteristics.
