Tungsten alloy is the best material for shielding X and gamma rays. The high specific gravity of tungsten alloy (60% heavier than lead) can reduce the shielding part without affecting the effectiveness of the shielding. Therefore, tungsten alloy shielding parts are very popular in the field of protection.
The main application areas of Tungsten alloy shielding parts are: radiation source container, gamma ray tungsten alloy shielding parts, tungsten alloy ray shielding blocks, tungsten alloy containers for radioactive sources for oil drilling, tungsten alloy X-ray collimators, tungsten alloy PET syringe protective sleeves, radioactive syringe protective sleeves, cancer treatment equipment tungsten alloy shielding parts, nuclear ray protection walls, tungsten alloy FDG containers, weld detection tungsten alloy shielding parts, large container detection equipment, nuclear detection equipment, nuclear power plant radiation shielding parts, tungsten alloy radiation shielding barrels, radioactive isotope transportation and control, radiation human protection, gamma ray detectors, nuclear submarine radiation protection
The main reason is that tungsten has a high density, and high density means better radiation absorption and radiation shielding capabilities. Tungsten alloy shielding parts are better than lead. High specific gravity tungsten alloy shielding parts have better shielding properties for gamma rays, thereby reducing the volume of shielding parts. Compared with lead, high-density tungsten alloy shielding parts of the same volume have better radiation shielding performance. By reducing the volume and thickness of the shielding parts and containers, tungsten alloy shielding parts still have the same radiation shielding ability as lead. In addition, because tungsten alloy is non-toxic and non-polluting, high-density tungsten alloy is more environmentally friendly than lead and depleted uranium.
