With the rapid development of science and technology, radioactive substances are increasingly used in many fields such as medical treatment, scientific research and industry. However, its potential radiation hazards can not be ignored, which makes the importance of radiation protection technology and products increasingly prominent. As an efficient radiation shielding equipment, radiation resistant tungsten alloy tank is gradually becoming a key defense line to ensure personnel safety and environmental health.
Tungsten alloy, because of its unique physical properties, has become an ideal material for making radiation-proof tanks. Tungsten alloy has a high density characteristic, its density can reach 16.5-19.0 g/cm³, which makes it have excellent shielding ability against radiation. Studies have shown that the higher the density of the metal, the better the shielding effect against radiation. Compared with the traditional shielding material lead, tungsten alloy not only has the same shielding performance, but also shows significant advantages in environmental protection and processing performance. Tungsten itself is non-toxic, does not produce radioactive substances, and is more friendly to the environment and human health in the production and use process. At the same time, tungsten alloy has good processing properties and can meet the requirements of tank manufacturing of different shapes and sizes.
In the medical field, radiation resistant tungsten alloy tank is widely used. Radionuclides play an important role in disease diagnosis, treatment and medical research, such as in radiotherapy, cobalt-60, cesium-137 and other radioactive sources produced strong radiation can effectively kill cancer cells, but also pose a serious threat to health care workers and the surrounding environment. At this time, tungsten alloy shielding tank with its strong radiation shielding capability, can safely store and transport these radioactive sources, to ensure the smooth progress of the radiotherapy process, to minimize the risk of radiation leakage, to protect the safety of medical staff and patients. In addition, tungsten alloy tanks are also indispensable for the storage and transportation of radiopharmaceuticals. Radiopharma is used for in-body diagnosis and treatment, such as 32P, 89Sr, 90Y and other drugs that emit pure beta rays, which require reliable shielding protection during the entire flow process. Tungsten alloy tanks can provide stable protection to prevent the radioactivity of drugs from causing harm to personnel.
In addition to the medical field, radiation-resistant tungsten alloy tanks also occupy an important position in the nuclear industry, scientific research departments and geological exploration and other industries. In the nuclear industry, the treatment and storage of radioactive waste is a difficult problem, tungsten alloy shielding tank can provide reliable shielding for high-level radioactive waste, effectively avoid radiation leakage caused by environmental pollution. When conducting radioactivity experiments, scientific research departments need to accurately control the radiation range, and tungsten alloy tanks can meet the requirements of high precision and high reliability for shielding equipment in experiments. In geological exploration, some radioactive materials are used to detect underground resources, and tungsten alloy tanks can protect workers from radiation hazards during transportation and use.
The growth of market demand has promoted the development of the radiation-proof tungsten alloy tank industry. In recent years, with the continuous improvement of global attention to radiation safety, relevant enterprises have increased their investment in the research and development of tungsten alloy materials and tank manufacturing technology. For example, Zhuzhou Rhenium High Temperature superhard Precision Manufacturing Co., Ltd. launched a precision manufacturing line project for high-specific weight alloy, a key component in the field of radiation protection, in 2024, aiming to produce tungsten alloy products for highly radioactive fuel storage and high radioactive waste shielding tanks. After the completion of the project, it is expected that the annual output can reach 20 tons of high-gravity alloy, which will provide more high-quality anti-radiation tungsten alloy tank products for the market.
Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University also carried out the procurement project of tungsten alloy protective tank in 2024, and Shanghai Shengrong Medical Device Technology Co., Ltd. won the bid. This case not only reflects the actual demand for radiation-proof tungsten alloy tanks in the medical industry, but also reflects the competitive situation of the supply of related products in the market. As more and more medical institutions and enterprises realize the importance of radiation safety, the radiation tungsten alloy tank market is expected to continue to expand.
With its excellent shielding performance, environmental protection characteristics and wide application prospects, the radiation protection tungsten alloy tank is becoming an important force in the field of radiation protection. With the continuous progress of technology and the continuous expansion of the market, it is believed that in the future, it will play a more critical role in the cause of global radiation safety and provide more reliable protection for people’s living and working environment.
