Tungsten-nickel-iron alloy is widely used in shielding components of CT/MRI equipment, and is a key material to ensure the safe operation of equipment and personnel radiation protection. CT and MRI equipment generate different types of radiation during operation. Among them, the X-ray radiation energy of CT machines is relatively high, which has a certain risk of damaging human tissues. Although MRI equipment has no ionizing radiation, the strong magnetic field may interfere with surrounding electronic equipment. Tungsten-nickel-iron alloy, with its characteristics of high density (16.5-18.7g/cm³) and high atomic number, can efficiently absorb ionizing radiation such as X-rays, and prevent its leakage by attenuating the ray energy.
In CT equipment, the alloy is often made into shielding plates, shielding covers and other components, which are installed around the scanning cavity of the equipment and in the isolation wall between the operating room and the scanning room, forming an effective radiation barrier. This controls the radiation dose around the equipment within a safe range, protecting medical staff and patients’ families. For MRI equipment, although it mainly relies on magnetic fields to work, electromagnetic radiation may be generated during equipment operation. The shielding components of tungsten-nickel-iron alloy can reduce the impact of electromagnetic radiation on the surrounding environment, and at the same time prevent external electromagnetic signals from interfering with the normal operation of the equipment, ensuring the stability and accuracy of image data.
In addition, the alloy has excellent mechanical properties and is easy to be processed into various complex shapes, which can meet the structural design requirements of different models of CT/MRI equipment. It also has good corrosion resistance and stability, and is not easy to reduce the shielding performance due to environmental factors (such as changes in temperature and humidity) during long-term use, ensuring the long-term safe and reliable operation of the equipment.
