High Energy Radiation Shielding
Applications include Collimators for the Medical Industry, Shielding Blocks, Oil Well Logging Tools and Instrumentation and Nuclear Equipment. Tungsten Heavy Alloy is an excellent material for use in Radiation shielding (high energy photonic). Grades HA180 and HA185 are most popularly used for this application. These alloys are excellent materials for shielding and collimation due to their combination of radiographic density, machinability, strength, and low toxicity. Tungsten Heavy Alloy offers a superior protection level to lead in an equivalent thickness and, unlike lead, resists deformation and can be accurately fastened.
Advantages of Tungsten Heavy Alloy's Shielding
Use not subject to NRC, EPA, or special OSHA regulations
High radiation absorption (superior to lead)
Low toxicity-safer than lead or depleted uranium: simplified life cycle
Easily machined into complex geometries
Hardness, strength, and ductility make for good durability
Good corrosion resistance
Additional Industrial/Commercial/Medical Applications
Radiography
Nuclear power plant shielding
Nuclear medicine
Clinical point shielding
X-ray collimators and area shielding
Isotope production, transport, and containment
Oncology Isotopic and accelerator based platforms
Homeland Defense-
Personal protection equipment for emergency responders
Large container inspection devices
