Tungsten Alloy Shielding Rod

1. What's Tungsten Alloy Shielding Rod?
Tungsten alloy shielding rod is high-density radiation shielding component, consisting mainly of tungsten (W) phase with different binder systems such as nickel (Ni)-iron (Fe), nickel (Ni)-copper (Cu), or nickel (Ni)-iron (Fe)-molybdenum (Mo). CTIA’s tungsten alloy shielding rod features excellent radiation shielding performance, good mechanical properties, and stable service performance. Non-toxicity and compact size advantages over traditional lead materials make tungsten alloy rod suitable for radiation protection components in medical equipment, nuclear industry, industrial inspection, and scientific instruments.

2. Characteristics of CTIA’s Tungsten Alloy Shielding Rod
(1) Excellent Radiation Shielding Capability
High atomic number and high density of tungsten provide effective absorption of X-rays and gamma rays for efficient radiation protection.
(2) High Density and Compact Design Capability
A density of 17.0–18.8 g/cm³ provides high shielding capability within limited space and is suitable for compact shielding structures.
(3) Good Environmental Safety
Compared with lead materials, tungsten alloy provides non-toxic and pollution-free characteristics, making it suitable for medical equipment and precision shielding applications.
(4) Stable Mechanical Properties
Good strength, toughness, and dimensional stability meet structural requirements under long-term service conditions.
(5) Good Machinability
Higher machinability than pure tungsten materials enables precision processes such as turning, grinding, and drilling for complex shielding components.

3. Applications of CTIA’s Tungsten Alloy Shielding Rod
