Poster summary

Radiation is energy emitted in the form of waves or particles. Its use has been increasing day by day in recent years. It can cause burns, carcinogenic and mutagenic effects on the skin of people exposed to radiation. For this reason, radiation shielding has become an important issue. T15 high-speed steel shows high strength, wear resistance, and good hardness properties because it contains chemical elements such as tungsten, vanadium, chromium, and molybdenum. For this reason, radiation permeability propertieswereanalyzedwiththePhy-x/PSDprogram.
