Tungsten Alloy Forms The Radiation Protection Shield

Tungsten Alloys as Radiation Shields

Compared with conventional radiation shielding materials, tungsten alloys offer economic advantages. A high-density alloy achieves equivalent energy absorption to lead while using one‐third less material.

Tungsten alloys are employed in containers for radioactive sources, for gamma radiation, in shields and in source holders used in oil drilling, logging and industrial instruments. High‐density alloys are also used as collimators in radiotherapy and as splash shields for radioactive injections. When a specific quantity of radiation must be directed to a designated area, tungsten alloys provide the necessary control. The high‐density alloys from SAM maintain performance even under extreme conditions with high thermal exposure.
