Why Use Tungsten As Target In X Ray Protection？

Tungsten is usually used as a target material in x-ray protection for two reasons:

1. Tungsten has a relatively high density, which could protect relatively high energy characteristic x-rays

2. Tungsten has the highest melting point of any metal, and because over 99% of the energy put into the x-ray tube to produce the beam is turned into heat energy, the ability to disparate the heat without loosing structural integrity is critical.
