Application Fields of High-Density Tungsten Alloy Shielding Components

High-density tungsten alloy shielding components possess high density, excellent ray shielding capabilities, and non-toxic, environmentally friendly characteristics. Their application fields include the medical field, nuclear industry, and more.

1.Medical Field

Radiotherapy Equipment Field: In commonly used tumor radiotherapy devices such as linear accelerators and gamma knives, critical components like ray collimators and shielding covers are often made from specific materials such as high-density tungsten alloys. Ray collimators effectively control the irradiation range, concentrating rays on the tumor site to achieve efficient targeting, while shielding covers block excess ray scattering, preventing radiation damage to surrounding healthy tissues and medical personnel.

Nuclear Medicine: During the preparation of radioactive drugs and the operation of radionuclide therapy equipment, there is a risk of isotope leakage. At this point, shielding containers or plates made from high-density tungsten alloy shielding materials play a key role, effectively blocking rays to prevent hazards from leaking radioactive isotopes, ensuring the safety of operators and the surrounding environment.

Medical Imaging Field: Devices such as CT scanners and X-ray machines generate rays during operation. To reduce ray leakage, protective shielding devices are installed at key parts of the equipment, lowering radiation intensity and creating a safe environment for medical personnel and patients.

2.Nuclear Industry Field

In scenarios related to nuclear reactors, shielding materials play an extraordinary role. During reactor operation, high-intensity radiation is generated, and shielding components built around the reactor can effectively block various strong radiations such as neutrons and gamma rays. Equipment casings also provide good shielding performance, protecting internal precision instruments from radiation interference and damage. Nuclear fuel transportation containers are particularly critical, equipped with multi-layer shielding structures to ensure that strong radiation does not leak during transport, guaranteeing the stable operation of nuclear facilities and safety during transportation.

In the nuclear waste management process, nuclear waste continuously emits harmful rays. The shielding layer of storage tanks, made from highly effective shielding materials, can block rays to a certain extent, preventing leakage into the surrounding environment and avoiding long-term pollution to soil, water sources, and more.

3.Research Field

Particle Accelerators: In high-energy physics experiments, used to shield the high-energy rays produced by accelerators, providing safety protection for experimenters and equipment.

Radioactive Laboratories: Serving as shielding plates for workbenches or storage boxes for radioactive samples, preventing the spread of rays during experiments.
