High-Density Alloy for Radiation Shielding and Precision Applications
This high-density specialty alloy offers exceptional hardness, strength, and thermal stability. Thanks to its extremely low thermal expansion, it is ideal for high-precision applications in high-temperature environments. Its high absorption of X-ray and gamma radiation makes it a go-to material for radiation shielding.
Excellent concentricity characteristics make this alloy a reliable choice for precision tools used in grinding and drilling at micrometer-level tolerances. Other applications include counterweights and military-grade components.

Applications
Applications
This alloy is used wherever precise weight control, high concentricity, or radiation shielding is required. In grinding and drilling spindles, it achieves micrometer-level concentricity, enabling precise machining results.
As sprue inserts in steel molds, it prevents erosion in the gating area. In X-ray systems, it shields against radioactive radiation in both medical and metrology applications. Its resistance to heat and deformation also makes it suitable for inductive heating and upsetting of components.
