Description Of Tungsten Alloy Ray Shielding Block

Tungsten Alloy Ray Shielding Block has a series of advantages of tungsten alloy, such as high density, high shielding level, strong impact resistance, good corrosion resistance, easy cleaning, environmental protection, non-toxic, and long service life etc. Tungsten Alloy Ray Shielding Block is widely used in the nuclear industry, geological exploration, aerospace industry, and medical imaging. For example, in medical treatment, Tungsten Alloy Ray Shielding Block can be used as containers such as tungsten alloy multi-leaf grating, shielded needle tubes, tungsten alloy storage or dispensing tank, etc. In geological exploration, they can be used to make tungsten alloy collimators.

Features Of Tungsten Alloy Ray Shielding Block

High density: The density of tungsten alloy is usually 16.5-18.75g/cm³, which is 60% higher than that of lead (about 11.34g/cm³). Under the same shielding effect, the volume of the tungsten alloy shielding block is less than 1/3 of that of lead.

High radiation shielding: Tungsten has a high atomic number (Z=74) and a large electron cloud density, which can effectively absorb and scatter high-energy rays, including X-rays, gamma rays, etc. For example, to block 150keV gamma rays, the thickness of attenuation by 90% only needs to be 3mm.

Good mechanical properties: Tungsten alloy has high strength, high hardness, and good wear resistance, and can maintain a stable shape and size during long-term use, reducing the maintenance and replacement costs of equipment.

Corrosion resistance: It can resist the erosion of various chemical media such as acids and alkalis at room temperature, which has obvious advantages over ordinary materials such as steel.

Environmental protection: Tungsten alloy itself is not toxic and does not produce radioactive substances. Compared with traditional lead materials, it is more environmentally friendly.

Applications Of Tungsten Alloy Ray Shielding Block

Used to manufacture shielding components for medical linear accelerators, multi-leaf gratings, X-ray therapy machines, etc., which can reduce particle beams or light waves, direct the rays in a specific direction, and improve the accuracy of treatment. As shielding components for CT tomography scanners, it absorbs X-rays that pass through the human body to protect patients and medical staff. Used to hold radioactive drugs to prevent leakage of radioactive substances.
