Tungsten Alloy Radiation Shielding Advantage

Experts find that radiation exposures could be reduced by maxing shielding. The density of tungsten alloy radiation shielding materials is related to its radiation stopping ability. Higher density means better stopping and absorbing radiation ray ability.

Due to a higher density that most other materials,tungsten radiation shielding has a much higher ability of absorbing and stopping almost rays than other metals, such as the traditional radiation shielding-lead. Tungsten radiation shielding has greater linear attenuation of gamma radiation and means that less is required for equal shielding. Altematively equal amounts of tungsten shielding provide diminished exposure risks than equivalent lead. So, tungsten alloy is the right and suitable material for radiation protection, as its combination of high density, good machinability, good corrosion resistance and high radiation absorbing ability. Besides, tungsten alloy is a kind of toxic pollution material, it would be better for environmentally friendly.
