Tungsten radiation shielding parts
As people destroy the environment, the harm of radiation to people is gradually strengthened. Therefore, radiation prevention device is also gradually taken seriously by people. Tungsten has been widely used as a radiation shielding material.
The research proves that the radiation protection ability is closely related to the material density, and the higher the density, the better the shielding performance. Tungsten alloy has a great density, so its shielding performance is very high, and tungsten alloy has not been found to be harmful to people or the environment in the long-term use, in this aspect has a greater advantage than lead. Tungsten alloy has great advantages in shielding parts due to its linear attenuation of γ rays. And an equivalent amount of tungsten offers a lower risk than an equivalent lead shield.
It has been proved that tungsten alloy is the best shielding material for medical and industrial equipment. Compared with traditional shielding materials, tungsten alloy shielding parts show a good value. Lead is a metal material used in the field of shielding parts earlier, but in the process of use, it is found that the efficiency of shielding parts made of lead is not high enough, and it will cause serious pollution to the environment. And the new generation of tungsten shielding has proven to be twice as efficient as lead shielding. Tungsten shields weigh 25 to 50 percent less than lead, eliminating associated toxic hazards and reducing mixed waste disposal costs.
Tungsten shielding has a high density (60% greater than lead), reducing the size of the shielding without affecting the shielding effect. The volume of tungsten alloy is less than one third of that of lead when compared with lead with the same radiation shielding properties. In addition, tungsten alloys are more environmentally friendly than lead or depleted uranium in the past.
Tungsten radiation shielding components are widely used in medical, nuclear, military and petroleum industries. The specific applications of tungsten radiation shielding components are listed below.
