Tungsten alloy is a non-toxic and environmentally-friendly alloy material. As a new radiation shielding material, tungsten alloy has a better shielding effect than the traditional radiation shielding material heavy metal lead. Research shows that for gamma rays of the same energy, the shielding effect of the new radiation shielding material tungsten alloy is far better than that of lead, which provides a reference for choosing tungsten alloy as a shielding material in special occasions, and provides a new choice in the selection of shielding materials in the field of radiation protection.

As a new radiation shielding material, environmentally-friendly and pollution-free tungsten alloy gamma ray shielding material is expected to replace toxic heavy metal lead for the manufacture of medical shields. It is reported that the greater the density, the stronger the ability to attenuate the rays. So, what is the density of a tungsten alloy gamma ray shielding material W94Ni6 alloy prepared by laser rapid prototyping?

Many medical devices use gamma rays to treat tumors. In order to perform accurate radiotherapy and reduce the damage of radiation to patients, gamma ray shielding materials are necessary. Tungsten alloy such as W90Ni10 alloy is a kind of γ-ray shielding material with good absorption to gamma rays.

Tungsten carbide reinforced aluminum matrix composite material is a new radiation protection material. Its γ-ray and neutron shielding performance is more excellent than lead. It also has the advantages of high specific stiffness, high specific strength, excellent plasticity, and high stability. More importantly, it is environmentally friendly. So, this new type of radiation protection material is widely used in medical shielding and other fields.
