Tungsten Alloy for Industrial Shielding
In addition to medical radiation shielding parts that can use tungsten alloy as the main raw material for production, industrial shielding parts can also be made of tungsten alloy materials. In addition to the strong ability to block radiation penetration, industrial shields containing tungsten alloy materials also have the advantages of lightness, convenience, and environmental protection. Colleagues who protect the lives of industrial operators can also improve work efficiency.
Geological drilling is a typical exploration technique widely used in oil and gas industries, including wireline drilling and borehole drilling. The technology can be simply understood as putting a gamma ray source into the borehole, the radiation can penetrate the rock formation, and the display will display the corresponding data, so the operator can analyze the data obtained to analyze whether there is oil or natural gas in the rock formation. . However, workers cannot do without shields when performing flaw detection operations, in order to protect themselves from injury as much as possible.
As the mainstream of shielding materials today, tungsten alloy is also the material of choice for industrial shielding. Although the volume of tungsten alloy shielding element is 1/3 smaller than that of lead under the same weight, the shielding effect is equivalent to that of lead, which helps geological drillers to use the shielding element more conveniently.
In short, compared with ordinary shielding materials, tungsten alloys are more suitable for the production of industrial shielding parts. Let's take a look at the basic content of tungsten alloy.
Tungsten alloy is an alloy composed of tungsten as the main raw material and other elements as auxiliary materials. It has the characteristics of high melting point, large specific gravity, strong corrosion resistance and good thermodynamic properties, and is widely used in aerospace, military defense, electronic industry and other fields.
When designing tungsten alloys, (1) in order to improve the plasticity of tungsten alloys, the content of oxygen and carbon elements must be reduced; (2) considering the comprehensive properties of tungsten alloys, Re and Mo are the most effective solid solution strengthening elements, but in When applied in a nuclear radiation environment, the Re element is preferably not used.
