Advantages of Medical Tungsten Alloy Radiation Shield
1. High density: density up to 18.8g/cm3.
2. Strong X-ray shielding ability: With the same thickness, the X ray shielding ability of tungsten alloy is more than 1.7 times that of lead. The stronger the ray, the greater the difference between the two shielding materials.
3. Environmental friendly and non-toxic: Do not harm to human health when producing and using. While lead is toxic.
4. High strength: Tensile strength is 700-1000Mpa.
5. Good shaping, workability and weldability.
6. Large thermal conductivity: Thermal conductivity is 5 times that of mold steel.
7. Small thermal expansion coefficient: Thermal expansion coefficient of tungsten is 4-6×10^-6/°C, which is only 1/2-1/3 of iron or steel.
