A tungsten alloy container is a thick-walled, fully or semi-enclosed vessel made from high-density tungsten alloy. It features excellent radiation shielding performance, high-temperature stability, and mechanical strength, and is primarily used for radiation protection and storage in applications such as nuclear medicine, radioactive source transportation, isotope encapsulation, high-temperature reactions, or specialized industrial processes.
Common structural types include:
- Monolithic Tungsten Alloy Container: Designed for applications requiring high sealing integrity and compressive strength.
- Tungsten Alloy-Lined Container: Combined with a stainless steel outer shell, it offers composite shielding with reduced overall weight.
- Modular Tungsten Alloy Container: Used as a radiation source carrier or experimental chamber with replaceable components.
