Shielding features, to non-ionizing and ionizing photons, of FeCr-based composites
Abstract:
This paper has been focused on the a detail study on non-ionizing and ionizing electromagnetic (EM) shielding features and build-up factors of reinforced with ferrochrome (FeCr) composites. The non-inozing electromagnetic shielding performance quantities of composites have been determined in the frequency range between 12.4 and 18.0 GHz. Also, the experimental mass attenuation coefficients (MAC) have been estimated using gamma spectrometer and various radioactive point, and compared to those of theoretical and simulation (MCNPX) results. With help of the obtained linear attenuation coefficients, several attenuation quantities, i.e., effective atomic number (Zeff), half value layer (HVL), and mean free path (MFP) have been discussed. In addition, buildup factors (EBF and EABF) values have been estimated utilizing the G-P fitting method. The results showed that composite encoded FeCr(15%) is superior shielding attenuation properties among the investigated samples.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
