The absorption capacity of tungsten alloy medical protective jar for X-rays and gamma rays is 60% higher than that of lead protective jar. Therefore, the volume of tungsten alloy jar is smaller than that of lead jar. In addition, lead is toxic and not environmentally friendly. Tungsten alloy is a green shielding material, which will not do harm to human health during production and use, does not pollute the environment, and can be recycled. Certainly, for shielding strong gamma radiation, metal uranium is a good choice as it has strong ability to absorb γ radiation, good thermal conductivity, high melting point, high strength, and easy processing. However, depleted uranium is relatively expensive and carries a slight amount of radioactivity. Therefore, in any case, it is more appropriate to use the environmentally friendly tungsten alloy as the shielding material. And it means that tungsten alloy medical protective jar has a wide application.
