1.What is YG6 Tungsten Steel?

YG6 tungsten steel is a tungsten-cobalt hard alloy, a medium-grain tungsten-cobalt alloy composed of tungsten carbide (WC) powder and cobalt (Co) powder, with WC powder accounting for 94% and cobalt powder for 6%.

Tungsten resin, also known as resin tungsten alloy, tungsten-filled polymer, or tungsten polymer, is a product formed by mixing various resins (such as nitrile rubber, chlorinated polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutene, etc.) with transition metal tungsten powder through special metallurgical techniques. It is a gray-black solid material under normal temperature and pressure, featuring non-toxic, environmentally friendly, non-radioactive, high specific gravity, good plasticity, excellent hydrophobicity, strong radiation resistance, corrosion resistance, and oxidation resistance. As a result, it is widely used in aerospace, aviation, maritime, automotive, medical, and nuclear industry fields.

As a typical novel tungsten product, tungsten resin is a synthetic resin product formed by combining high-purity tungsten powder with various resin materials in different proportions. It is a gray-black material resulting from the combination of a transition metal and organic compounds, known in English as "Tungsten resin." Commonly used resin materials include nitrile rubber, chlorinated polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutene, polyurethane, and thermoplastic materials.

Pinhole tungsten alloy collimator is a critical component widely used in nuclear medicine imaging and radiation detection fields. It restricts the direction of radiation beams through a small hole (pinhole), thereby enhancing image resolution and accuracy. Due to its high density, tungsten alloy effectively absorbs and shields high-energy rays, such as gamma rays. Compared to traditional lead collimators, tungsten alloy collimators offer significant advantages in image quality, radiation protection, and manufacturing flexibility.
