Tungsten Alloy Sintered

Tungsten alloy sintered is also called tungsten alloy blank. Sintered tungsten alloy are materials that are not trimmed or unfinished and are going to be processed further processing or will-be dealing with. Tungsten alloy is available either as semi-finished blanks or as precision-machined parts.

Tungsten alloy Sintered manufacture process
Raw material power configuration: WP is mixed together with Ni, Cu, Fe, etc.
Vacuum dry: Vacuum dry the power
Press: Compression molding is wildly used in pressing
Sintered tungsten alloy: sintering is the key processes in the powder metallurgy process. It is divided into the sintering of the unit of the department of sintering and the multi-component system. In addition to the ordinary sintering, there is also bulk sintering, melting, dip, and hot pressing sintering process.
Product: With the powder metallurgy production technology, powder metallurgy and tungsten alloy sintered products are ready to use or to be machined further.

Applications of Tungsten Alloy Rod

We have a large amount of tungsten alloy rod stock for sale.Most of the major applications for tungsten alloy rod are based on its very high density where it is used to control or distribute weight in some way. The product can be machined further.

Chinatungsten can offer tungsten alloy rods and parts as counterweight, radiation shielding, military defense applications, welding rods, extrusion dies. Some sports also, facilitate the use of alloy rods, such as darts, billets, golf club, etc. In addition, we can manufacture and offer they as the replacement of one type of famous materil, with very similar properties.

Tungsten alloy rods also have other usages: electric vacuum parts and it can be used as a means of high temperature structure parts. The product also for some sports fields, such as darts, billets, golf clubs, etc.

What is Tungsten Alloy Rod?

Tungsten alloy rod has so many advantages, such as high density, high melting point, small volume, excellent hardness, superior wearing resistance, high ultimate tensile strength, high ductility, high temperature resistance, etc. Tungsten alloys can be widely produced into it used in many industry sectors.

Tungsten alloy rod is produced by pressing metal powders and sintering them into billets, which is worked by rolling or swaging into rod. it is produced in straight random lengths with a smooth swaged surface at diameters 3mm and larger, and with a smooth drawn finish below 3mm. A center less-ground finish can also be furnished.  Specific lengths and special fabrications can be supplied upon request.

Tungsten Shielding for Gamma Radiation

Effective shielding such as tungsten shielding of gamma radiation is in most cases based on use of materials with two following material properties: high-density and high atomic number.

However, low-density material such as lead can be compensated with increased thickness, which is as significant as density and atomic number in shielding applications. Yes, lead is also widely used as a gamma shield, however, if the density is much lower than the tungsten shielding material. Besides, depleted uranium could also be used for gamma radiation shield, but it is not environmental friendly. Considering with those factors, tungsten shielding is suitable for gamma radiation shielding. Especially for the gamma radiation, which is much more complex than the alpha and beta radiation shielding, in order to find a way to shield it, high density must be the most important thing, while tungsten have the high density almost to 18.6g/cm3, which is similar to gold. Therefore, tungsten shielding for gamma radiation is more and more popular.

Medical High Density X-ray Protection Methods

There are some many methods to protect from the medical high density X-ray:

Interlocking tungsten alloy shielding bricks

Borated tungsten polyethylene

High-density concrete

Linear accelerator swing doors

Linear accelerator sliding doors

Radiation therapy shielding upgrades

Tungsten alloy PET/CT shielding

Tungsten Radiation Shielding for Medical Industry

X-Ray existed in medial industry has very high intensity radiation primarily for component inspection of critical manufactured parts. The inspection of welds for example is of prime importance in any aircraft component or in the inspection of nuclear power plant piping. That type of X-Ray for the inspection is the expensive micro processing circuitry. Radiation shielding for medial industry applications require thicker lead or thicker lead-equivalent glass in lead lined wall material or shielded doors. Doors may also require borated polyethylene to shield from neutron scattering. The highest level of shielding is required badly for X-ray in medical industry. As far as I know, tungsten alloy with density from 17.0g/cm3 to 18.5g/cm3 has excellent radiation absorption for X-ray. Besides, due to its good machinability, it could be machined into different shapes, such as brick, working as the tungsten radiation shielding wall, each brick is manufactured with four tongue and groove edges for interlocking. In this way, X-ray in medical industry could be absorbed well by tungsten radiation shielding.

What is Beta Radiation？

Beta radiation is a light, short-range particle and is actually an ejected electron. Some characteristics of beta radiation are:

Beta radiation may travel several feet in air and is moderately penetrating.

Beta radiation can penetrate human skin to the "germinal layer," where new skin cells are produced. If high levels of beta-emitting contaminants are allowed to remain on the skin for a prolonged period of time, they may cause skin injury.

Beta-emitting contaminants may be harmful if deposited internally.

Most beta emitters can be detected with a survey instrument and a thin-window GM probe (e.g., "pancake" type). Some beta emitters, however, produce very low-energy, poorly penetrating radiation that may be difficult or impossible to detect. Examples of these difficult-to-detect beta emitters are hydrogen-3 (tritium), carbon-14, and sulfur-35.

Clothing provides some protection against beta radiation.

Examples of some pure beta emitters: strontium-90, carbon-14, tritium, and sulfur-35.
