When looking to protect your workers and facility from gamma radiation, you need to be using the right protective material. Creating shields for this type of radiation requires much stronger materials as it tends to be more powerful than other types. While a tin sheet cannot, on its own, stop gamma radiation, it will be a vital component of your …

If you look around the world today, sheet metal is everywhere. It is used in vehicles, appliances, buildings, and even as decorative items. Sheet metal is propping up the world. And there are reasons for its popularity. Sheet metal can be easily customised, molded to the needs of the industry and the product being manufactured. A number of metals are …
Read more...Those in industry who work with metals, metal components, and metal machinery, and are familiar with the frustration of machine and component failure due to the galling of metallic surfaces, will appreciate a solution to this problem through a practice known as “babbitting.”
Babbitting refers to the coating of a metal surface, casting, or bearing with a Babbitt metal; which …
Read more...Zinc anodes protect the metal parts of submerged structures by inhibiting the rate at which the metal corrodes. Sacrificial anodes are the main component in cathodic protection, a technique used to control the corrosion of a metal by setting it up as the cathode of an electrochemical cell. In other words, a sacrificial metal that corrodes more easily is set …

Sheet lead is the material of choice for many applications involving the attenuation of gamma radiation.
Gamma radiation attenuation – that is, gamma ray shielding – takes place because of the interaction of the radiation to the shielding material. Gamma rays consist of high-energy photons that move at the speed of light, and these photons can travel considerable distances before …
