Compared to traditional radiation shielding materials such as lead and boron carbide, tungsten funnel 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.

During design of tungsten funnel shielding, tungsten funnel shielding is calculated according to requirements of shield to abate the multiple shielding materials' thickness.

Tungsten metal is a grayish-white lustrous metal that is often brittle and hard to work. Of all metals in pure form, tungsten has highest melting point of all elements except carbon - vary between 3387°C and 3422°C. It also has good thermal and electrical conductivity. Its electrical conductivity at 0°C is about 28% of that of silver which itself has the highest conductivity of all metals. In addition, it has low vapor pressure at high temperatures.

Such properties make tungsten metal a high performance material in high temperature products and processes. Tungsten metal powder is used as a filler material in plastic composites, which are used as a nontoxic substitute for lead in bullets, shot, and radiation shields.

Tungsten alloy medical radiation shielding is necessary for X-ray diagnosis. Medical radiation shielding of X-ray diagnosis not only reduce individual dose of examinee as far as possible. It also needs to reduce public dose commitment caused by medical radiation. That is why medical attract high attentions from all sectors of the community. Public dose commitment occupies the most origin of artificial ionizing radiation. It has more influence than ash caused by nuclear weapons test. It is also higher than per capita effective dose of the tear caused by global nuclear power or nuclear accident in Chernobyl, the most serious nuclear accident so far, by several orders of magnitude. Medical radiation shielding of x-ray diagnosis is the largest origin artificial ionizing radiation, increasing continuously. So, it is necessary to strengthen optimization of medical radiation shielding when applied frequency is increasing continuously, so that reduce public dose commitment.

Density of tungsten alloy medical radiation shielding is higher twice than lead. The high density of tungsten alloy allows a reduction in physical size of shielding components, without compromising the effectiveness of shielding characteristics. Otherwise, tungsten alloy has the advantage of non-toxicity, compared with lead. So tungsten alloy is ideal for against X-ray.

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.

Lead is quite ineffective for blocking neutron radiation, as neutrons are uncharged and can simply pass through dense materials. Lead free radiation brick materials composed of low atomic number elements are preferable for stopping this type of radiation because lead free radiation bricks have a higher probability of forming cross-sections that will interact with the neutrons. Lead free radiation brick materials are well suited for this task. Lead free radiation brick also named tungsten alloy radiation brick is widely used.

Compounds with a high concentration of hydrogen atoms, such as water, form efficient neutron barriers in addition to being relatively inexpensive shielding substances. However, lead free radiation brick with high density materials can emit gamma rays when blocking neutrons, meaning that lead free radiation brick is most effective when tungsten alloy radiation brick incorporates both high and low atomic number elements.

Tungsten alloy radiation brick products have excellent radiation resistance, electric and thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance coupled with high density (16-18.5g/cm3) and good mechanical strength.

Positron emission tomography (PET) is one of the nuclear medicine techniques available for diagnosis. Whilst X-rays provide information on the structure of the body, tungsten PET shields show the chemical function of a particular organism. Tungsten PET shields involve the injection of FDG (a glucose-based radio nuclide) from a shielded syringe into the patient. As the FDG travels through the patient's body it emits gamma radiation, which is detected by a gamma camera, from which the chemical activity within cells and organs can be seen. Any abnormal chemical activity may be a sign that tumors are present. PET scans are frequently used to detect cancerous tumors and diseases of the brain and coronary arteries.

Tungsten is a very dense metal, also very durable. Use tungsten to make a dart barrel results in a smaller dart for the same weight. For anyone who plays darts often, the durability is important, as that helps retain the dart's precision-machined shape, grooves, and knurling.

Size is usually the first factor considered when choosing tungsten alloy dart billet. At about half the diameter of a similar weight brass dart, it is a lot easier to fit two or more tungsten darts into a double or triple area.

Think about the end of cricket games, where you need to hit several bulls to finish. An old-fashioned fat brass dart, the area is nearly covered by the first dart. Switching to a slim tungsten alloy dart billet easily allows two or three darts to fit in the same area. (Of course, you still have to be able to hit that bull!)

The advantage of tungsten dart barrel is you can achieve the same weight as a thick brass barrel, but the tungsten alloy dart billet would be a lot slimmer. This would be a lot more beneficial to a competent dart player as this leaves a lot more room in the treble bed when tungsten alloy dart billets are grouped closely together, making scoring easier. Tungsten alloy dart billet has a definitive advantage over traditional brass. In addition to less deflection, they are being produced with great knurling patterns on the barrels. These provide a confident grip with less potential for slipping. Tungsten alloy dart billet comes in a variety of both steel tip and soft tip sets.

Tungsten alloy dart billet comes in a variety of weights from about 16 grams up to around 30 grams. It is important when choosing a set of tungsten dart billet that you get the opportunity to try out as many as possible before deciding on a set. The main thing is you feel comfortable when throwing them. Once you find those perfect darts, it may be an idea to purchase an additional identical set just in case they get lost or stolen. If your game does go a little stale or you are striving for improvement, do not be afraid to change your darts. Tungsten dart billet offered by us are highest quality products and will serve you well for a long time.
