As the development of medical technology, there’re more and more radiation in our live, which has created new problems, such as X rays, gamma rays, alpha rays, beta rays, etc. To some extent, they can be harmful to human health.

In order to protect patients and medical staff from those rays, it is necessary to use tungsten alloy equipment to shield these harmful radiations.

 

 

Radiation resistance is related to material density. The greater the density is, the better the shielding performance is. Tungsten alloy has a large density that up to 16.5-19.0g/cm3, so it has high shielding performance, and radioactive drugs can be put in it. Radioactive drug refers to a kind of special drug containing radioactive nuclide for medical diagnosis and treatment, and it refers to compounds or biological agents for the body containing radiolabeled. Radionuclides of radioactivate drugs can emit radiation. Using tungsten alloy shielding container for radioactive drugs can reduce the radiation harm to human.

 

Tungsten alloy shield has excellent radiation shielding ability and is gradually replacing traditional shielding materials. Tungsten alloy shielding is a good choice both in the medical field and in the industrial field. There are many kinds of tungsten alloy shield, such as tungsten alloy shielding container and tungsten alloy shielding shell. Moreover, compared with traditional shielding materials (such as lead), tungsten alloys is more environmental friendly and it has not toxic, so they would not pollute the environment or harm to human.
