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 primary radiation shielding applications are tungsten alloys used for?
Tungsten alloy radiation shielding is widely used for radioactive source containers, gamma radiography, X-ray shields, and industrial instrumentation. In medical fields, it serves as collimators, radiation shields in cancer therapy, and protective syringe shields for radioactive injections.
Which tungsten alloy grade is best suited for medical imaging radiation shielding?
HA185 is the preferred grade for medical imaging radiation shielding because it is the densest of the Ni-Fe binder alloys with tungsten, providing maximum radiation attenuation.
What are the features of nonmagnetic grades such as HA170C and HA180C?
HA170C and HA180C substitute copper for iron in the binder phase to meet the needs of nonmagnetic working environments. HA180C is significantly denser than HA170C, making it suitable for large-scale shielding in magnetic-sensitive applications.
Which grade provides the highest machinability and ductility?
HA170 is the most ductile and readily machinable tungsten alloy grade, making it ideal for counterbalancing weights in aerospace, racing crankshafts, bucking bars, and versatile radiation shielding.
Can custom sizes and specifications be manufactured?
Yes, Zhuzhou Jiuding Metal Technology Co., Ltd can design and fabricate customized sizes, complex geometries, and specific alloy grades to meet individual application requirements.
What are the main advantages of HA180 in beam shielding and balance applications?
HA180 is specifically suited for applications requiring high density within a compact volume, such as balance/ballast weights, collimators, and radiation shields for X-ray or gamma ray beams.
