Open-face tungsten alloy shielding containers are preferred in specific conditions requiring directional beam delivery rather than omnidirectional containment. Their typical feature is a fully enclosed thick-wall body retaining only one or more controllable collimation windows, allowing the radiation beam to project at defined angle and width while achieving high-level shielding in non-working directions.
Industrial radiography represents the primary application domain for open-face designs. High-activity sources such as iridium-192, selenium-75, or cobalt-60 must form clear beams through rotatable or adjustable slit tungsten alloy collimators for pipeline weld, pressure vessel, and large casting/forging inspection; fully sealed containers would block the beam, whereas open-face designs enable efficient exposure while protecting operators.
Scientific neutron or γ beam experiments similarly rely on open-face tungsten alloy collimation containers, precisely defining beam profiles via multi-stage nested apertures or fan-shaped windows on reactor or accelerator beamlines while suppressing scattered background.
Large-scale radiation scanning systems for customs and cargo inspection employ open-face tungsten alloy source chambers and receiver collimators to achieve rapid transmission imaging of containers or vehicles.
Material irradiation test facilities also utilize open-face tungsten alloy shielding containers with programmable collimation inserts when unidirectional high dose rate exposure is required.
When operational conditions demand “pass where passage is needed, block where blocking is required” with considerable control over beam direction and purity, open-face tungsten alloy shielding containers become the preferred solution due to their excellent machining precision, geometrical stability, and shielding continuity.
