Tungsten Heavy Alloy Tubes

What are Tungsten Heavy Alloy Tubes?

Tungsten heavy alloy is usually consisted of W-Ni- Fe or W-Ni- Cu or even W-Ni-Cu-Fe, some tungsten alloy is added Co、Mo、Cr, etc. It could be made as many shapes. Tungsten heavy alloy tubes is usually used in making radiation shielding, some parts for military defence, such counterweights for hunting guns, hunting equipment, the missile weapons, armor piercing ammunitio, counterweights for oil logging, etc.

Tungsten Heavy Alloy Tubes Application

Tungsten alloy radiation shielding Tungsten heavy alloy tubes are suitable raw material for radiation protection, as tungsten heavy alloy tubes combination of radiographic density (more than 60% denser than lead), good mechanical strength, and low thermal expansion, good corrosion resistance, high radiation absorption (superior to lead), simplified life cycle and high strength. Tungsten heavy alloy tubes can provide the same degree of protection as lead whilst significantly reducing the overall volume and thickness of shields and containers. Tungsten alloy is non-toxic and are generally considered environmentally friendly, unlike lead or depleted uranium. Most commonly tungsten heavy alloy tubes are used as vial and syringe shielding.

Besides, tungsten heavy alloy tubes could also be used as the counterweight for oil logging, as tungsten heavy alloy tubes have special properties such as high density, high impact resistance and crack resistance, etc.
