Do you know tungsten plates for radiation protection?

Tungsten plates, also known as tungsten sheets, have ideal radiation shielding properties due to their high density and high atomic number. 

Of course, there are not only tungsten sheets on the market that can protect against radiation, but also other materials that have certain radiation shielding properties, such as lead sheets, which are one of the most commonly used, inexpensive and can provide a certain degree of protection. 

In practice, however, lead sheeting can be harmful to the human body, as toxins can accumulate in the body as a result of long-term exposure to heavy metals, which can be extremely damaging. It can also pollute the environment, contaminate water and so on. As lead pollution becomes more and more serious, people are becoming more and more aware of health and environmental protection. So the demand for non-toxic and non-polluting radiation protection materials become greater, then Tungsten plates are discovered.

After being discovered, tungsten sheet became a new type of lead-free shielding piece, which is commonly used for radiation protection in hospital X-ray rooms, CT rooms and other radiology departments, and has a good shielding effect on X-rays as well as γ-rays.

At the same time, tungsten plates have good wear resistance, excellent strength and impact toughness. All tungsten plates produced by Zhuzhou Jinxin are non-destructive ultrasonic flaw detection, no sand holes, no porosity, high material denseness, high hardness and impact resistance, and long service life.
