Tungsten X-ray Protection Apron

There are wolfram anodes making from tungsten powder in the X-ray machine but the patients also have to wear a tungsten X-ray protection apron made from tungsten powder when they are making panorama X-ray of teeth or other parts on the body, due to the environmental reasons this apron is made of tungsten powder dispersed. Tungsten anodes made from tungsten powder are used in the X-ray machine; modern aprons are filled with tungsten powder, calcium tungsten powder is still used as fluorescent material in X-ray films. Tungsten powder product becomes more and more popular because of its good properties.


What Are the Different Types of Tungsten Alloy Radiation Shielding?

Tungsten alloy radiation shielding is the use of tungsten alloy to protect against ionizing radiation. Radiation occurs when energy is emitted from one substance and travels out in straight waves, possibly penetrating another substance. When this energy is absorbed, it can have the effect of exciting or destabilizing atoms. If a certain radiation penetrates an animal, it can have harmful impacts on the body, sometimes causing cancer or deformities. Shielding uses specific types of material, such as a leaded glass pane, a lead apron, or packed dirt, to act as a barrier between the body and the source of radiation.



Why Choose ASTM B 777-99 for Tungsten Alloy Radiation Shielding

 Tungsten alloy radiation shielding could be manufactured as per ASTM B777-99 Standard:

1.tungsten alloy specifications cover the requirements for four classes of machinable,high-density tungsten base metal produced by consolidation of metal powder mixtures of which the composition is mainly tungsten alloy specifications. Different tungsten alloy specifications have different uses, we can provide all kinds of tungsten alloy specifications according to your requirements.This material specification may be used for bare parts or be used for parts that may be coated with other materials for protection against corrosion and abrasion.

2. Intended Use -Parts made from this material are intended for uses such as weights or counter-balances in static or dynamic balancing high-speed rotating inertia members, radiation shielding, hypervelocity impact, and vibration-damping applications. We could make products of tungsten alloy grades as your special properties of tungsten heavy alloy.

3.Special Applications -different products of tungsten alloy specifications have different applications, properties or requirements may be important. These alloys may contain elements that make them magnetic. Class 4 is not available in a non-magnetic grade. For purposes of this specification, non-magnetic characteristics of tungsten alloy specifications are defined as material having a maximum magnetic permeability of 1.05. Also for special applications involving large sections, methods for determining internal quality, such as mechanical tests on specimens from these larger sections or suitable nondestructive tests may be applied. If required, these additional tests shall be specified in the purchase order. We can offer many tungsten alloy specifications with the standard size as well as design mould especially for you.



Why Choose AMS-T-21014 for Tungsten Alloy Radiation Shielding

Chinatungsten can offer many tungsten alloy standards within the standard size or we can design and manufacture a mould especially for you. Since different tungsten alloy standards have different applications, we can also make products of tungsten alloy standards as special properties of tungsten heavy alloy, such as AMS-T-21014, which required the tungsten alloy parts having high density, good radiation absorption, well wearing resistance,etc.
