Description Of Tungsten Heavy Alloy Protection Container

In the field of nuclear medicine, all diagnoses and treatments using radioactive materials are carried out under the shielding protection of various radiation protection equipment, which not only ensures the safety of doctors and patients but also complies with the regulations of safe treatment of radiation institutions. Tungsten Heavy Alloy Protection Container. It is made of high environmental protection tungsten alloy materials after all kinds of mechanical processing, which can well resist the damage of X-ray and gamma-ray to medical staff and can be widely used in PET department, SPET department, MR examination room, nuclide laboratory, and other places. Tungsten Heavy Alloy Protection Containers generally include isotope vials, drug bottling, transport cans, and syringe protective tanks with locks. 

Features Of Tungsten Heavy Alloy Protection Container

Exceptional shielding characteristics along with high density   

The density of tungsten alloys falls between 17.0 and 19.3 g/cm³, making it particularly useful in absorbing and shielding high-energy rays, as well as X and gamma rays. These alloys surpass lead in performance, providing more than 40% additional coverage.   

Corrosion resistance and high strength  

Due to the increased strength, hardness, and substantial mechanical and chemical wear resistance, tungsten alloys possess. Furthermore, they exhibit a certain level of humidity and exposure to some chemicals.  

Withstand high temperatures  

Alloyed tungsten shows a remarkable capability in maintaining structural stability, withstanding extreme temperatures of up to 3422°C, resisting deformation, and retaining structural stability.

Applications Of Tungsten Heavy Alloy Protection Container

Tungsten alloy protective containers are used to store radioactive drugs, such as technetium-99m, iodine-131, etc., and can effectively shield their radioactivity. Compared with lead containers, tungsten alloy containers provide better protection in a smaller volume.

Radionuclides like cobalt-60 and cesium-137 have applications in the medical field for both the diagnosis and treatment of certain ailments. However, their extraction and storage present enormous difficulties, as they are both highly radioactive and need to be kept in tightly sealed containers. Due to their exceptional radiation shielding capabilities and high density, tungsten alloy containers are ideal for the storage and transportation of cesium-137 and cobalt-60.
