Tungsten Alloy Rod in CT Shielding

Tungsten alloy rod in CT shielding is high density tungsten alloy material manufactured through powder metallurgy and used in radiation shielding and scattered radiation control structures of CT equipment (Computed Tomography). Based on the high atomic number and high density of tungsten, CTIA’s tungsten alloy rod provides effective X-ray attenuation to reduce scattered radiation. The material features high strength, stable X-ray attenuation capability, and excellent machinability, allowing fabrication into shielding components, collimator assemblies, and customized shielding structures for CT systems requiring high shielding efficiency, dimensional accuracy, and long-term operational stability.

1. Characteristics of CTIA’s Tungsten Alloy Rod in CT Shielding
(1) High Shielding Efficiency
Provides effective X-ray attenuation with a density range of 16.5–18.8 g/cm³ and the high atomic number characteristics of tungsten, enabling compact shielding designs and efficient radiation protection in space-limited CT structures.
(2) Lead-Free Environmental Safety
Contains no lead (Pb) or other harmful heavy metals, avoiding deformation issues and environmental risks associated with traditional lead shielding materials while meeting long-term medical equipment requirements.
(3) Dimensional Stability
Maintains stable dimensions under continuous CT operation and temperature variations due to its high mechanical strength and low coefficient of thermal expansion, ensuring reliable shielding performance.
(4) Precision Machinability
Supports turning, milling, grinding, Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), and slotting processes to produce shielding components, collimator assemblies, and customized shielding structures for precise CT equipment integration.

2. Applications of CTIA’s Tungsten Alloy Rod in CT Shielding
(1) CT Radiation Control Components
Manufactured into collimators, and X-ray beam-limiting structures to control the radiation field and reduce scattered radiation effects.
(2) Internal Equipment Shielding Components
Processed into local shielding blocks, shielding inserts, and customized shielding structures for radiation protection in space-constrained areas inside CT systems.
(3) Detector Protection Components
