Tungsten alloy Radioactive source containers for Medical

Tungsten Alloy radiation shields are used in a variety of applications where protection against radiation is required. Tungsten is an ideal material for radiation shielding due to its high density and ability to absorb radiation. Tungsten alloy radiation shields are commonly used in medical equipment, nuclear power plants, and aerospace applications.

In aerospace applications, tungsten alloy radiation shields are used to protect satellites and spacecraft from the harmful effects of solar radiation and cosmic rays. Tungsten alloy shields are also used in space suits to protect astronauts from radiation exposure during spacewalks.

Tungsten alloy shields are available in a variety of shapes and sizes to meet the specific needs of each application. They can be custom-designed to fit around complex shapes and structures, providing maximum protection against radiation.

Advantage of Tungsten Alloy Radiation Shielding

Experts find that radiation exposure could be reduced by maxing shielding. The density of Tungsten Alloy Radiation Shielding material is custom made product related to its radiation stopping ability. Higher density means better stopping and absorbing radiation ray . Due to a higher density than most  other materials, tungsten radiation shielding has a much higher ability of absorbing and stopping almost rays than others metals such as the traditional radiation shielding - lead. Tungsten radiation shielding greater linear attenuation of gamma radiations means that less is required for equal shielding. Alternatively equal amounts of tungsten shielding provide diminished exposure risks than equivalent lead Tungsten heavy alloy is the right material for radiation protection, as its combination of radiographic density (more than 60% denser than lead), machinability, good corrosion resistance, high radiation absorption (superior to lead and steel), simplified life cycle and high strength. Tungsten radiation shielding can provide the same degree of protection as lead whilst significantly reducing the overall volume and thickness of shields and containers. Besides, compared with lead or depleted uranium (DU), tungsten radiation shielding is more friendship for the environments both lead and DU for it is no any toxic.
