What Is Difference Between Tungsten Alloy Radiation-Proof Source Storage Device and Lead Alloy?

There are significant differences between tungsten alloy radiation-proof source storage devices and lead alloy source storage devices in terms of material properties, radiation protection capabilities and environmental protection performance.

  1. Material characteristics: Tungsten alloy has excellent properties such as high density, high strength, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. Its density is usually as high as 18.5g/cm³, far exceeding the density of lead (about 11.3g/cm³). High density provides better radiation shielding while remaining compact for easy storage and transportation. Tungsten alloy also has environmental advantages and is considered an environmentally friendly material.
  2. Radiation protection: Due to the high density characteristics of tungsten alloy, it has excellent radiation protection. Tungsten alloy can effectively absorb and scatter radioactive rays, reducing the harm of radiation to the surrounding environment and personnel. In contrast, although lead alloy is also used for radiation protection, its density is low and its radiation protection effect is relatively poor.
  3. Environmental performance: Tungsten alloy is regarded as an environmentally friendly material, non-toxic and environmentally friendly. Lead alloys contain toxic substances, and long-term exposure or inhalation of lead may cause harm to human health. At a time when environmental protection is increasingly valued, tungsten alloy source storage devices have obvious advantages.

In general, tungsten alloy radiation-proof source storage devices have significant advantages over lead alloys in terms of material properties, radiation protection capabilities and environmental performance.
