Advantages of Tungsten Alloy Radiative Shielding Materials

Experts find that radiation exposure can be reduced by maximizing shielding. Tungsten alloy radiative shielding materials advantage: high density, small volume, etc. The radiation stopping ability of a material is related to its density. Higher density means better stopping power and shielding. Because of its a higher density, tungsten alloy has much higher radiation absorption ability than lead. Its greater linear attenuation of gamma radiations means that less material is required for equal shielding. Alternatively equal amounts of tungsten alloy radioactive shielding materials provide diminished exposure risks than equivalent lead shielding.

Compared to traditional radiation shielding materials such as lead and boron carbide, tungsten alloy radioactive shielding provides excellent density with small capacity. At the same weights high density alloy can provide the same energy absorption as lead using 1/3 less material. When the weight is certain, more density, and the thickness would be thinner. Tungsten alloy radioactive shielding material could be made with thinner thickness but high absorption of radiation in high density. That is why tungsten alloy radioactive shielding material is poplar to make radiation shielding.
