Tungsten alloy container is developed for shielding radioactive sources in medical industry. More specifically, tungsten alloy radiation shielding container is mainly used for safe storage and transportation of radioactive sources. Radioisotopes and nuclear radiation can be used in diagnostic and medical scientific research, as well as in the study of principles of drug action, determination of drug activity, drug analysis, and radiation disinfection of drugs. However, radioactive sources are harmful to human body. Therefore, in order to protect the safety of medical personnel, and researchers, etc., these radioactive sources need to be shielded in the processing of using, storing and transporting.

It has been reported that tungsten alloy container is a type of safe storage container with extremely high density and excellent absorption of x-ray and gamma radiation. Therefore, compared with conventional materials such as lead, even if the tungsten alloy sheet is thinner, it can still achieve reliable radiation protection, and the protection is still significantly better than the former. In addition, because tungsten alloys have better ductility and higher melting points, such a shielding container can withstand even the most severe mechanical, thermal and corrosive environmental conditions.
