Tungsten heavy metal alloys has great ability to absorb X-ray and gamma radiation.

The alloy components nickel, iron, molybdenum, cobalt and copper make pure tungsten stronger and ensure that the material is 100 % impermeable. In addition, our tungsten-heavy metal alloys are significantly more ductile and easier to machine than pure tungsten.

Our tungsten-nickel-iron alloy (WNiFe) is used in collimator and shielding components to provide protection against X-ray and gamma radiation; while our tungsten-nickel-copper (WNiCu) material is distinctive due to its non-magnetic behavior.
