In today’s rapidly changing science and technology, X-ray shielding boxes are widely used in many fields such as medical treatment, scientific research, and industry as important safety protection equipment. High-density Tungsten alloy, with its high density, hardness, and good wear resistance, has become an ideal material for manufacturing X-ray shielding boxes.
X-ray shielding boxes are devices specially designed to curb the leakage of X-rays and carry a vital safety protection mission. X-rays, with their ultra-short wavelengths and huge energy, show strong penetration, ionization effects, and thermal properties. When X-rays meet matter, although a small part of the energy is absorbed, most of it can still pass through the atomic gaps and continue its powerful penetration journey. Long-term exposure to X-ray radiation will damage the cell structure of the human body, the DNA chain may be damaged, and there is even a potential risk of inducing cancer cells. For this reason, improving the protection efficiency of X-ray shielding boxes has become an urgent task that we cannot ignore.
High-density tungsten alloy is an alloy material composed of tungsten as the base material (containing 85%~99% tungsten) and a small amount of metal binders such as nickel, iron, and cobalt. This alloy has a high density of 16.5~18.75g/cm³, which is several times or even more than ten times that of ordinary metals. At the same time, high-density tungsten alloy also has good oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability, which makes it the preferred material for manufacturing high-performance X-ray shielding boxes and other radiation protection products.
X-ray shielding boxes made of high-density tungsten alloy can effectively absorb and block X-rays, protecting the surrounding environment and personnel safety. In addition, tungsten alloy also has excellent machinability, so shielding boxes of different shapes and sizes can be manufactured according to actual needs to meet the use requirements of different occasions.
In the medical field, X-ray shielding boxes are widely used in radiology, nuclear medicine, and other departments to protect medical staff and patients from X-ray damage. In the field of scientific research, scientific research institutions also need to use X-ray shielding boxes when conducting radioactive experiments to prevent radiation leakage and protect the safety of researchers. In the industrial field, such as non-destructive testing and material analysis, X-rays may also be generated. At this time, X-ray shielding boxes also play an important protective role.
