Tungsten Sheet and Tungsten Foil
Tungsten sheets and tungsten foil have a variety of important applications in the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) industry, thanks to the unique properties of tungsten materials such as high density, high melting point and good mechanical strength. Although the application of tungsten chips is not as direct as magnetic materials or superconductors, it plays a vital auxiliary role in the manufacturing and maintenance of NMR devices and related technologies.
1. Shielding material
In NMR devices, tungsten sheets and tungsten foil are often used as a shielding material to reduce external interference. Tungsten has a very high density and excellent radiation absorption capacity, which can effectively shield electromagnetic waves, X-rays and other forms of radiation. Although the magnetic fields used by NMR generally do not produce harmful radiation, electromagnetic radiation in other devices or the environment can affect the accuracy of NMR. By using tungsten plates outside critical components, NMR devices can reduce external radiation interference and ensure the accuracy and stability of data acquisition.
2. Reinforce and support the structure
Due to its high strength and high temperature resistance, tungsten sheets and tungsten foils are used as support and reinforcement materials in some structural components of NMR devices. Especially in parts of the equipment that need to withstand high pressure or temperature changes, tungsten's high strength and heat resistance make it an ideal choice. For example, around cooling systems or magnet systems, tungsten sheets can be used to strengthen the mechanical structure and ensure the stability and durability of the equipment.
3. Diamagnetic components
Although tungsten is not a completely non-magnetic material, its permeability is extremely low, and in some NMR devices, tungsten sheets and tungsten foils can be used as diamagnetic components. In the working environment of NMR, devices are required to use materials that do not interfere with the NMR magnetic field, avoiding negative effects on imaging or data analysis. The tungsten sheet maintains a low magnetic response in this environment without compromising the sensitivity and data accuracy of the NMR device.
4. Heat sink of cooling system
Tungsten has good thermal conductivity and high temperature resistance, so it is often used in the cooling system of NMR equipment. When superconducting magnets operate at low temperatures, the temperature of the device must be kept stable, and tungsten sheets can be used as heat sinks or heat conduction materials to help manage heat at extremely low temperatures and maintain optimal working conditions for NMR devices.
5. Application of high vacuum environment
In nuclear magnetic resonance equipment, some components operate in high vacuum environments, and the high melting point, corrosion resistance and low vapor pressure characteristics of tungsten sheets make them suitable for use in these extreme conditions. It can maintain its physical and chemical stability, prevent contamination inside the equipment, and ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment.
Conclusion
The application of tungsten in the nuclear magnetic resonance industry, although indirect, is very important. As a shielding material, diamagnetic component, reinforced structure and cooling material, tungsten sheets play a key role in improving the accuracy, stability and durability of NMR devices.
