Why Do We Need Tungsten Alloy Shield?

Apr 19, 2022

Due to the rapid development of medical technology, more and more radiation in life has caused new problems. These rays include X-ray and gamma ray, α Rays, β Radiation, etc. Tungsten alloy is a good material for shielding, whether it is medical or industrial equipment. Compared with traditional shielding materials, tungsten alloy shielding materials reflect a good value. High density alloys can provide the same energy absorption, and the volume is less than 1 / 3 of that of lead People can make good use of the reliable shielding performance of tungsten alloy.


Our tungsten alloy shields are commonly used as containers for radiation sources, gamma ray shielding and industrial product shielding. The shield can also be used for collimators, shielding for cancer treatment and radiation protection syringes. In order to protect patients and medical staff, it is necessary to use tungsten alloy equipment to shield these harmful radiation.


Advantages of tungsten alloy shield:


The researchers found that the radiation protection ability is related to the density of the material. The higher the density, the better the shielding performance. Tungsten alloy has great density, so its shielding performance is very high, and tungsten alloy products are environmental protection products, which are less harmful than lead products.


Tungsten alloy products are good materials for making shielding parts, which are easy to process and non-toxic.
