Tungsten Alloy Radiation Shielding

Applications include collimators for the medical industry, shielding blocks 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 in comparison to lead at similar thickness and, unlike lead, resists deformation and can be accurately fastened.
