Please check our FAQ for details.Zirconium is a heavy metal belonging to the titanium group, known for its outstanding corrosion resistance, good flexibility, and relatively soft texture. It is easy to roll, forge, and hammer. While zirconium is a poor conductor of electricity, it conducts heat relatively well. At high temperatures, it reacts with most non-metals, but remains stable in air due to passivation. The metal resists most acids and is not affected by aqueous bases, but can be attacked at room temperature by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid. In finely divided form, zirconium can be pyrophoric. It is non-toxic and found naturally in the human body.At Evek GmbH, you will find up-to-date prices for zirconium and benefit from our commitment to high-quality products and excellent service.Zirconium is mainly used in nuclear power plants, especially for making shells for uranium fuel elements from the Zircaloy alloy. It is also utilized in chemical plant construction (valves, pumps, agitators), as an alloying element to enhance steel’s corrosion resistance, and in the manufacturing of surgical instruments. Additionally, due to its smokeless combustion, zirconium is used in fireworks, signal lights, and for producing abrasive paper and pigments.Key properties of zirconium include: - Exceptional corrosion resistance - Good flexibility and ductility - Poor electrical conductivity - Relatively good thermal conductivity - High resistance to almost all acids and aqueous bases - Pyrophoric behavior in powder form - Non-toxicityOrder zirconium quickly and easily online from Evek GmbH—a trusted supplier offering worldwide delivery.
