Tungsten Alloy Radiation Cover

Tungsten Alloy Radiation Cover

The radiation cover has been used for several decades now. The early radiation cover was not very efficient and very expensive due to technological reasons. It was used by the people who worked on radar and microwave transmission. As the development of the technology, the efficiency of the radiation cover has been highly enhanced; it can efficiently resist and refract the X-ray, UV, microwave radiation and so on. 

As radiation level rise and becomes a problem, it is crucial to protect body from it. Tungsten alloy radiation cover for plasma accelerator is necessary. Because of high density and smallest capacity, tungsten alloy material is gaining popularity as body protection, tungsten radiation cover against plasma accelerator radiation. Compared with lead, tungsten is much smaller but with higher density, which is very helpful for high radiation absorption. It is more than 60% denser than lead with excellent machinability and good corrosion resistance. And more important, tungsten ally is environmentally friendly and non-toxic.

Advantages of Tungsten Alloy Radiation Cover 

Experts find that radiation exposure could be reduced by maxing shielding. The density of a material is related to its radiation stopping ability. Higher density means better stopping power and shielding. Due to a higher density, tungsten heavy alloy has a much higher stopping power than lead. Its greater linear attenuation of gamma radiations means that less is required for equal shielding. Alternatively equal amounts of tungsten shielding provide diminished exposure risks than equivalent lead shielding.  

Tungsten heavy alloy is a suitable raw material for tungsten alloy radiation cover to radiation protection, as its combination of radiographic density (more than 60% denser than lead), mach inability, good corrosion resistance, high radiation absorption (superior to lead), simplified life cycle and high strength. Tungsten alloy radiation cover can provide the same degree of protection as lead whilst significantly reducing the overall volume and thickness of shields and containers. Besides, compared with lead or depleted uranium in the past, tungsten heavy alloy is more acceptable in tungsten alloy radiation cover, for they are non-toxic.
