Shields & Weights
The high absorption rate of Tungsten materials for X-ray and Gamma radiation enables the use for shielding against X-ray radiation or collimators in medical and measurement technology. The high density of Tungsten is perfect to produce very high mass components. That means, very precise, dimensionally stable and heavy counterbalance weights, components for vibration damping or for mass balance can be designed.Our materials are lead-free and conform to EU requirements for chemical substances (EC) 1907/2006 (REACH) as well as to directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS-II) for electrical devices and electronic components.
Available Components:
Balance and counterbalance weights, low vibration tool shanks, projectiles, collimators, isotope containers, radiopaque agent protections, transport containers for radioactive sources, radiation shielding.
Typical Materials:
Tungsten, Tungsten High Density Alloy (WSM), Tungsten-Copper (WCu)
