Designers can now enjoy high density, excellent mechanical strength and easy machining of the material. The same material is used in space flight and national military industry. The tungste heavy alloy is the best choice to be used as counterweight. Compared with lead,tungsten has smaller volume,so tungsten's resistance in the water is smaller than lead,which will make the yacht move ahead more quickly. Tungsten alloy yachts counterweights vary in size and shape.

The high density of the tungsten heavy alloy make contribution to reduce the physical size of the module, make it easier to control the distribution of the weight, enhance the flexibility of the control mechanism.When large mass has to be confined into very small space in the yacht,tungsten alloy yachts counterweights become the best choice.Tungsten alloy yachts counterweights are non-toxic and environmentally friendly. They successfully replace the toxic products such as lead.And tungsten alloy yachts counterweights can keep their shape unchanged for a long time.We can provide all kinds of tungsten alloy yachts counterweights according to your requirements.

Tungsten alloy is ideal for shielding against X rays and gamma radiation. The very high density of tungsten shielding (more than 60% denser than lead) allows a reduction in the physical size of shielding components, without compromising their rigidity or the effectiveness of the shielding characteristics.

Tungsten heavy alloy shielding is used in applications such as collimator, nuclear shielding, beam stop, PET syringe shield, vial shield, isotope container, FDG container, multi leaf collimator etc.

Positron emission tomography  is one of the nuclear medicine techniques available for diagnosis. Whilst X-rays provide information on the structure of the body, PET shows the chemical function of a particular organism.  As the
travels through the patient’s body it emits gamma radiation which is detected by a gamma camera, from which the chemical activity within cells and organs can be seen. Any abnormal chemical activity may be a sign that tumours are present.

Radiotherapy destroys cancer by directing beams of radiation directly onto the tumour. The beams of radiation require a very fine focus to avoid harming the surrounding healthy tissue. This focus is achieved by using a multi-leaf collimator, consisting of two rows of very thin tungsten alloy plates, which can be configured to exactly match the dimensions of the tumour.

The hyperbaric heavy alloy is called"3H" :high density,high strength and high hardness,so one of its important usages is as the counterweight. Such as mechanical balance weight,fly ball;The weight used in the drilling industry;Horologe pendulum bob;Shorkproof cutter arbor;Coungterweight used in the voyage and sailboats counterweight; gyroscope、aircraft counterweight used in the space flight and aviation,etc.

Floating ships such as yachts need counterweight to maintain their stability in the water.The tungsten alloy yachts counterweights are non-toxic and comply with environmental standard.They have very high proportion(>18g/cm3), small volume, so it has the advantage of high wind resistance, quickly sinking,it is the best succedaneum for lead and it is active demanded in the developed country such as the Europe.

Tungsten alloy is used as collimator shielding in the following applications:

Geologging
　
Geologging is an exploration technique used mainly in the oil and gas industries. It is also known as wireline logging and borehole logging. A gamma ray source is lowered into a borehole and the radiation penetrates the rock strata. This data can then be analysed to determine whether deposits of gas or oil are present. tungsten alloy is used to shield the radioactive source and to act as a collimator for the gamma beam.

Pipe-line inspectionGamma
　
radiation is used to inspect welds and to detect cracks in pipelines. A gamma source is mounted on a remote-controlled wheeled trolley (sometimes called a "pig") and travels inside the length of the pipe. A WOLFMET tungsten collimator is used to direct the radiation onto the target, whilst the radioactive source is housed inside tungsten shielding.

Homeland Security and Border Control
　
The penetrating power of radiation has also been put to use in the fight against terrorism. The Homeland Security industry has designed scanners that use gamma radiation to detect objects in cargo containers or airline baggage.
　
The radioactive sources are very strong and require WOLFMET tungsten shielding to protect security staff and members of the public from the radiation. A tungsten collimator is also required to direct the gamma radiation onto its target.
