The Advantages of Tungsten Alloy for Radiation Detector

A radiation detector, also known as a particle detector, is a device used to detect, track, and/or identify high-energy particles, such as those produced by nuclear decay, cosmic radiation, or reactions in a particle accelerator. Modern detectors are also used as calorimeters to measure the energy of the detected radiation. They may also be used to measure other attributes such as momentum, spin, charge etc. of the particles.

When using tungsten alloy to produce radiation detector,particles through some tungsten alloy, tungsten alloy will absorbing part of particles or all of them to produce ionization or excitation. Radiation detectors transfer ionization or excitation into all forms of direct or indirect information that human can accept.

The advantages of tungsten alloy for radiation detector:
Due tungsten alloys have the ability of various high-ray shielding,tungsten alloy can be the good materials for radiation detector. The thickness 3mm of tungsten alloy can shield 95% of 150keV γ radiation. Tungsten alloy materials are suit for high spatial resolution occasion, such as radiological Imaging array detectors.Tungsten alloy materials has high density, (60% higher than lead), reduces the size of tungsten alloy ray shields, without affecting the radiation shielding effect.Comparing with tungsten alloy and lead, when they with the same performance of radiation shielding, the volume of tungsten alloy is 1/3 of lead .Because the environmental friendly characteristics of tungsten alloy, tungsten alloy for radiation detector  better than lead for radiation detector in environmental protection .In the future, tungsten alloy for radiation detector will be wildly used.
