Tungsten Alloy Radiation Shielding in Customs Inspection

Tungsten alloy radiation shielding in customs inspection refers to radiation shielding and beam-control components used in X-ray and gamma-ray inspection equipment at customs checkpoints, ports, airports, and border facilities. CTIA’s tungsten alloy radiation shields combine efficient radiation attenuation, compact structures, high strength, and stable performance, helping control scattered radiation, reduce exposure, and maintain reliable inspection performance in space-constrained equipment.

1. Why Is Tungsten Alloy Radiation Shielding Needed in Customs Inspection System?
(1) Efficient Radiation Attenuation: Effectively attenuates X-rays and gamma rays with density of 16.7–18.8 g/cm³ and tungsten’s atomic number of 74, reducing radiation leakage and personnel exposure.
(2) Compact Structure: Reduces shielding thickness and occupied space through its high material density while maintaining radiation protection performance, making it suitable for equipment with limited internal space and highly integrated structures.
(3) Enhanced Imaging Stability: Reduces stray radiation entering detectors through collimation and shielding structures, lowering background interference and improving image clarity and inspection reliability in X-ray inspection equipment.
(4) High Strength & Durability: Withstands vibration, impact, and mechanical loads during long-term equipment operation with high strength, hardness, and wear resistance, maintaining shielding structural stability.
(5) Non-Toxic & Eco-Friendly: Lead hazards and toxicity risks are absent, making components safer during handling, operation, equipment maintenance, and end-of-life recycling.
(6) Flexible Precision Machining: Supports turning, milling, grinding, drilling, wire cutting, and other machining processes for shielding components with different structures and geometries.

2. Applications of CTIA’s Tungsten Alloy Radiation Shielding in Customs Inspection
(1) Container & Vehicle X-Ray Inspection Systems: Reduces scattered radiation through radiation source shielding, collimation, and detector protection components in large cargo inspection equipment at ports and customs checkpoints, supporting stable scanning performance.
(2) Baggage X-Ray Scanners & Parcel Inspection Equipment: Improves image clarity and radiation control through internal shielding, detector protection, and collimation components in airport, logistics, and customs inspection equipment.
(3) Personnel Security Inspection Equipment: Reduces unnecessary radiation exposure through radiation control and localized shielding components in airport, railway station, and border inspection equipment, supporting reliable inspection.
(4) Radioactive Material Detection Equipment: Reduces background radiation interference through detector shielding and collimation structures in customs and border radiation monitoring systems, improving radioactive material identification.
