Tungsten alloy radiation shielding is made of metal powder in silicone polymer by the flexible immersed heat shielding. With the destruction of the environment, the harm of radiation to people is getting more serious.

Therefore, anti-radiation device has drawn increasingly more attention. Tungsten alloy has been widely used as a kind of radiation shielding material.

 

Tungsten alloy radiation shielding shield radiation by the absorption of radiation from the absorbing material. The absorption of radiation is performed in the following two ways: energy absorption and particle absorption. Scientists have found that using high density materials can greatly reduce radiation levels, which demonstrates that the ability to resist radiation is closely related to the density of materials. The greater the density, the better the shielding performance.

 

 

Tungsten alloy has high density, so it has high shielding performance. Tungsten alloy radiation shielding has high density (density is 60% higher than lead), good machinability, corrosion resistance, good radiation absorption ability, and high strength, etc. Compared with the same weight lead shield, the radiation absorbing capacity of tungsten alloy radiation shielding is stronger than that of lead, while the volume and thickness are much smaller than that of lead.

 

What’s more, tungsten alloy has not been found any harm to people or the environment in long-term use. The linear attenuation ability of tungsten alloys to gamma ray makes it a great advantage in the field of shielding, and tungsten alloy shield provides lower risk than lead shield.

 

Tungsten alloy radiation shielding has become the top choice for radiation shielding because of its high density, high radiation shielding and it’s environmental friendly. It has an important position in medical, nuclear power, military, and petroleum, etc.
