Product Code : AL-W-CU
Tungsten was used extensively for the filaments of old-style incandescent light bulbs, but these have been phased out in many countries. This is because they are not very energy efficient; they produce much more heat than light.Tungsten has the highest melting point of all metals and is alloyed with other metals to strengthen them. Tungsten and its alloys are used in many high-temperature applications, such as arc-welding electrodes and heating elements in high-temperature furnaces.
Post-load radiotherapy requires the injection of radiopharmaceuticals into the body through an injection catheter. During the course of radiotherapy, radiopharmaceuticals are stored in a large tungsten alloy medical shield to protect patients and medical personnel from radiation damage.
The use of lead material as the radiation therapy shield is harmful to the human body and the uranium material as a shield for shielding gamma rays has a strong radioactivity. Due to their non-toxic and environmental characteristics, tungsten alloys for producing medical equipment become mainstream.
ATT is a professional supplier of Tungsten Medical Radiation Shielding, We also produce disc, granules, ingot, pellets, pieces, powder, rod, wire, sputtering target and in numerous other forms and custom shapes. Other shapes are available by request.
Please contact us if you need customized services. We will contact you with the price and availability in 24 hours.

Applications of Tungsten Medical Radiation Shielding
Tungsten Medical Radiation Shielding is used in positron emission tomography (PET) technologies.
Positron emission tomography (PET) is one of the nuclear medical technologies and is mainly used for the diagnosis of diseases. X-rays pass through the human body, and PET can display the transfusion effect of a specific organ in the human body. PET technology requires the injection of deoxyribonucleic acid (FDG) into the human body, and the FDG is stored in the syringe shield and injected into the body by a syringe shield. When the FDG passes through the human body, it emits gamma rays, which are captured by the gamma camera, thereby understanding the chemical reactions of organs and cells in the human body. Abnormal chemical reactions can also be shown; these reactions are evidence of the presence of a tumor.
Packing of Tungsten Medical Radiation Shielding
Standard Packing:
Typical bulk packaging includes palletized plastic 5 gallon/25 kg. pails, fiber and steel drums to 1 ton super sacks in full container (FCL) or truck load (T/L) quantities. Research and sample quantities and hygroscopic, oxidizing or other air sensitive materials may be packaged under argon or vacuum. Solutions are packaged in polypropylene, plastic or glass jars up to palletized 440 gallon liquid totes Special package is available on request.
ATTs’Tungsten Medical Radiation Shielding is carefully handled to minimize damage during storage and transportation and to preserve the quality of our products in their original condition.
