High-Density Tungsten Alloy Medical Shielding Components from China Factory - Top Suppliers for Radiation Protection
Description
Zhuzhou Jiuding Metal Technology Co., Ltd could offer tungsten alloy radiation shield, which is used for radioactive source containers, gamma radiography, X-ray shields and industrial instrumentation. Tungsten shielding is also serving as collimators and radiation shielding in cancer therapy, as well as syringe protection for radioactive injections. We usually offer tungsten alloy radiation shielding as per the following standard. Besides, we could also design and make special size based on different properties.
Application
| Grade | Application |
|---|---|
| HA170 | HA170 is the most ductile and readily machinable grade. Common application areas include counterbalancing weights for the aviation and aerospace industries, crankshaft and auto racing car, bucking bars for rivet setting, and radiation shielding. |
| HA175 | HA175 is commonly used to produce chatter-resistant boring bars and tool shanks as well as radiation shielding components. |
| HA180 | HA180 is often applied where size is a factor in the placement of balance or ballast weights. It should be typically of parts with small volume but heavy density. Other applications include radiation shields and collimators of x-ray or gamma ray beams. |
| HA185 | The densest of the Ni-Fe binder alloys with tungsten, and is the preferred grade for radiation shielding in the medical imaging industry. |
| HA170C | Adding copper as a substitute for iron in the binder phase, as there is requirement for nonmagnetic working environment and ideal choice for nonmagnetic radiation shielding. |
| HA180C | Much denser than HA170C, can be used in large scale shielding in nonmagnetic working environment. |
Frequently Asked Questions
What main applications are tungsten alloy radiation shields used for?
They are widely utilized in radioactive source containers, gamma radiography, X-ray shields, industrial instrumentation, collimators and radiation shielding for cancer therapy, and syringe protection for radioactive injections.
Can custom sizes and dimensions be manufactured?
Yes, besides standard offerings, Zhuzhou Jiuding Metal Technology can design and fabricate customized sizes and configurations according to specific property and application requirements.
Which tungsten alloy grade is preferred for medical imaging radiation shielding?
HA185 is the preferred grade for radiation shielding in the medical imaging industry, representing the densest option among Ni-Fe binder tungsten alloys.
What is the key feature of HA170C and HA180C grades?
Both grades replace iron with copper in the binder phase to ensure performance in nonmagnetic operating environments, with HA180C offering higher density for large-scale shielding.
Which alloy grade is the most ductile and easily machinable?
HA170 is the most ductile and readily machinable grade, suitable for aviation counterbalance weights, racing crankshafts, bucking bars, and radiation protection.
When is HA180 typically selected over other grades?
HA180 is ideal when compact size is critical for balance/ballast weights requiring high density in small volumes, as well as for radiation shields and collimators of X-ray or gamma-ray beams.
