Tungsten heavy alloy density can up to 16.5~19.0g/cm3, which has remarkable characteristics in density, strength, hardness, ductility, conductivity and thermal properties, so it is widely used in national defense industry and aerospace industry.

Tungsten alloy shielding in industrial mainly have the following applications:

 

Inspection: radiation is used to inspect, weld, and detect cracks of pipes. The gamma source is mounted in a remote controlled wheeled cart for internal tube length propagation. Tungsten alloy collimator is used to direct radiation to the target, and the tungsten shielding placed in the radiation source.

 

Geological drilling: geological drilling is an exploration technique. Tungsten alloy is usually used as shielding radiation source and gamma ray collimator.

 

storage and transport of radioactive material: tungsten alloy shielding is usually used in shipping containers of isotope collimator, gamma camera, cobalt therapeutic apparatus and nuclear reactors.

 

 

Industrial radiography: Industrial radiographic photography using gamma ray testing materials, such as metal and concrete structures. Tungsten shielding is usually used in the pipeline on-line detection equipment and collimator. Measure the thickness and density of a horizontal sheet of paper, plastic, sheeting, or surface coating in the manufacturing process.

 

Tungsten alloy plasma accelerator shielding: Radiation shield for ion accelerator prevents the body from radiation. Tungsten alloy materials with high density and small capacity are used as shielding materials, which can protect the body from the radiation of plasma accelerators.

 

Electrical material: electrodes for electrical discharge machining and resistance welding; electrical contacts of high density alloys, and contacts of air circuit breakers.

 

Tungsten alloy electroplated bar: indexable inserts, bars, plates, saw blades, impact drills, balls, woodworking knives, drawing dies, and non-standard corrosion resistant structures.

 

Tungsten alloy shielding is the top choice for radiation shielding, for tungsten alloy has excellent radiation absorption ability, high density, good corrosion resistance and it’s environmental friendly.
