Tungsten Shielding- Application and Uses for Shielding

Permalink   
 

Tungsten is a highly versatile alloy, and its shielding is what you need. The tungsten shield against gamma and x-ray radiation. They focus on radiation beams, which help them to hit the target directly. This tungsten shielding is used for years and is famous for several reasons like:

·         Performance –  they have exceedingly high gamma attenuation with technical characteristics.

·         Resistance – High-temperature resistance.

·         Modularity – Machin able

·         Compactness – Minimal footprint

Applications

Tungsten is highly versatile and applicable for numerous applications. They contain excellent value and higher absorption levels than other alloys, making them highly appropriate for industrial settings. Here are some of its applications.

        Ship ballasts

        Helicopter rotor systems

        Golf club weights

        Firearms

        Engine components

        Bucking bars

        They are applicable for high-energy radiation shielding, like nuclear, medical, and industrial.

        Downhole logging sinker bars

        Boring bars

        Auto racing industry

        Aircraft control surfaces

Uses of tungsten

For shielding purposes, tungsten is the most suitable alloy with minimum radiation exposure. Also, they provide machinability, low toxicity, Boring bars heat resistance, and superior design adaptability. Here are some of the uses of tungsten that make them highly appropriate for shielding.

        Isotope vials and containers

        Multi-leaf collimators

        Custom shielding components

        Collimators for radiosurgery

        Collimators for x-ray detectors
