A tungsten radiation protection panel is a plate - shaped structural component mainly made of tungsten, used for radiation protection. It is also known as a tungsten alloy shielding panel. Here is a detailed introduction:

Basic Composition of tungsten heavy alloy

Tungsten radiation protection panels are usually made of tungsten - based alloys, with a tungsten content of 85% - 99%. They are supplemented with elements such as nickel, iron, and copper. These additional elements can improve the mechanical properties and processability of the alloy.

Manufacturing Process of tungsten heavy alloy panel

Powder Metallurgy: High - purity tungsten powder is mixed with binders such as nickel and iron, and then formed into plate - shaped blanks through pressing, sintering, and heat treatment. This method is suitable for producing shielding panels with large areas and uniform thickness, and has a relatively low cost.

3D Printing: In recent years, additive manufacturing technologies such as selective laser melting have been used to produce customized tungsten alloy shielding panels, especially those with complex geometric shapes or embedded structures.

The shielding principle is mainly based on the characteristics of high density and high atomic number of tungsten alloy. When radiation passes through the tungsten alloy, it will interact with the atomic nucleus or extranuclear electrons, resulting in energy absorption or scattering. For X - rays and γ - rays, they are mainly attenuated through the photoelectric effect, Compton scattering, and pair production effect. For neutron radiation, it is usually necessary to combine with other materials such as boron - containing polymers to slow down and absorb neutrons.

Characteristics of tungsten heavy alloy plate

Excellent Radiation Shielding Performance: Due to the high density and high atomic number of tungsten, tungsten alloy radiation protection panels can effectively absorb and block ionizing radiation such as X - rays and γ - rays. They can achieve the same shielding effect as lead with a thickness of only about 2/3 of lead.

Environmentally Friendly and Non - Toxic: Unlike lead, tungsten radiation protection panels do not contain toxic substances, which will not cause harm to the human body and the environment, and are more in line with modern environmental protection requirements.

High Mechanical Strength: Tungsten alloy has high hardness and wear - resistance, is not easy to deform, and can maintain stable performance in harsh environments.

Convenient Construction: Tungsten radiation protection panels are easy to process and can be cut, glued, nailed, pasted, and assembled, which is convenient for construction and can be disassembled and reused.

Applications of tungsten alloy panel

Medical Field: It is used as a protective material for walls, floors, and ceilings in radiology departments, especially in interventional therapy rooms. It can also be used to make protective doors, protective windows, and other equipment to protect medical staff and patients from radiation damage.

Nuclear Industry: It is used in nuclear reactors, nuclear fuel transportation containers, and other equipment to block high - energy γ - rays and neutron radiation and prevent radiation leakage.

Industrial Detection: In industrial non - destructive testing, such as the detection of oil pipelines and aerospace components, tungsten radiation protection panels are used to shield scattered radiation and improve the safety of testing operations.
