Tungsten alloy military sphere is "green" projectile that is mainly composed of W-Ni-Fe, W-Ni-Cu or W-Ni-Cu-Fe. And some may also contain metal elements such as cobalt, molybdenum and chromium. Tungsten alloy military sphere is used in shotguns, prefabricated fragments, armor-piercing projectiles, missiles and other weapons. According to the literature, tungsten alloy is an environmentally friendly alloy material that will not produce toxic substances or cause radioactive pollution during processing and use. It even has excellent absorption attenuation ability for X-rays, gamma rays and other radiation sources. Therefore, it is often used to replace lead (The performance indicators of lead are poor than tungsten alloys.) for various military purposes.

Tungsten alloy protective pot is specially designed to greatly reduce exposure to vials containing liquid radioisotopes. Vials can be loaded from the top or bottom of the tungsten alloy protective pot. A loss-proof slide injection port on the top allows easy access to the vial septum. The tough tungsten alloy will retain its shape under the roughest handling and is virtually unbreakable. Tungsten alloy protective pot is environmental friendly with higher density than lead for achieving better radiation absorbing ability. Besides, tungsten alloys having good X-ray attenuation ability are widely used for all kinds of radioactive source shielding components or container in medical applications.

Tungsten alloy vial shield has high strength and is not easy to break. Even under extreme conditions, it can still maintain its good performance. The vial shield made of W-Ni-Fe or W-Ni-Cu materials can provide higher radiation shielding performance than the vial shield made of traditional lead materials. Tungsten alloy vial shield can greatly absorb the radiation of the liquid radiopharmaceutical inside, so it is mainly used for the storage and transportation of radiopharmaceuticals in the medical field.

You know, tungsten alloy is the first choice for radiation shielding in the medical field, so, tungsten heavy alloy radioactive source container is a welcomed medical radioactive source container, for storing alpha sources, beta sources, gamma sources, and radionuclide neutron sources. Because the radiation emitted by the radioactive source has a certain amount of energy, it can destroy cell tissues, thereby hurt people or even cause death. Therefore, radioactive tracers (unsealed sources) used in hospitals, such as iodine-131, iodine-125, technetium-99m, etc., need to be stored in special tungsten heavy alloy radioactive source container with excellent radiation shielding ability.

Tungsten alloy radiation shielding part has the advantages of high density, high hardness, and strong radiation absorption ability, so that it can effectively shield medical radiation sources such as X rays and gamma rays. The overall performance of tungsten alloy radiation shielding parts is much better than lead radiation shielding parts. Also, the radiation shielding part made of tungsten heavy alloy is non-toxic and environmentally friendly. So, tungsten alloy is widely applied in hospital nuclear medicine department, nuclear medicine laboratory, disease prevention center, biological laboratory, etc.
