Tungsten wire plays an important role in radiation protection materials, mainly because of its high density and excellent physical properties, which enables it to effectively shield and absorb various types of radiation, especially high-energy radiation, such as X-rays and gamma rays. The following are the specific roles of tungsten wire in radiation protection materials:
- Radiation shielding:
High-density shielding: Tungsten has a very high density (about 19.3 g/cm³) and can effectively shield high-energy radiation. Tungsten wire can be woven or mixed with other materials to make radiation shielding materials, which are widely used in medical imaging equipment, nuclear power plants, radioactive laboratories and other places that need to protect against high-energy radiation.
Thickness and protective effect: Materials made of tungsten wire can provide effective radiation protection at a smaller thickness due to its high density. Compared with other materials, it has better shielding effect and lightness.
- Radiation absorption:
X-ray and gamma ray absorption: Tungsten has a high atomic number (74), which enables it to absorb and attenuate high-energy radiation such as X-rays and gamma rays, reducing the possibility of radiation passing through the material, thereby protecting personnel and equipment from radiation damage.
Protective layer construction: Tungsten wire can be used as a layer in radiation protection materials and combined with other absorbing materials to form a multi-layer composite structure to improve the overall radiation protection effect.
- Radiation protection clothing:
Personal protective equipment: Tungsten wire can be woven into radiation protection fabrics and used to make radiation protection clothing. These garments are mainly used in medical, nuclear industry and other fields to protect the wearer from radiation damage.
Flexibility and comfort: Because tungsten wire can be woven into thin and flexible materials, it can provide a certain degree of comfort while maintaining efficient protection, and is suitable for protective clothing that needs to be worn for a long time.
- Aerospace and military protection:
High-energy particle protection: In the aerospace and military fields, tungsten wire is used as a radiation protection material to shield high-energy particle radiation from space and protect the safety of equipment and personnel.
Protective equipment: Tungsten wire can also be used to manufacture military protective equipment to reduce the threat of high-energy radiation to personnel.
- Medical radiation protection equipment:
Medical equipment and equipment protection: Tungsten wire can be used in the protective layer of medical equipment to reduce the risk of medical staff and patients being exposed to X-rays and other radiation sources.
