Please check our FAQ for details.Zirconium is a heavy metal from the titanium group, known for its outstanding corrosion resistance, good flexibility, and relatively soft structure. It is easy to roll, forge, and hammer. While zirconium conducts heat well, it is a poor conductor of electricity. The metal remains stable in air due to passivation and is resistant to acids, though it reacts with aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid at room temperature. Zirconium is not affected by aqueous bases and, in powdered form, can be pyrophoric. It is non-toxic and naturally present in the human body.At Evek GmbH, you can find up-to-date zirconium prices in our online shop. We are committed to providing high-quality products and excellent service.Zirconium is primarily used in nuclear power plants, especially for making cladding for uranium fuel rods (Zircaloy alloy). It is also utilized in chemical plant construction (valves, pumps, stirrers), as an alloying element to improve steel’s corrosion resistance, and in surgical instruments. Additionally, zirconium is used in fireworks and signal lights due to its smokeless combustion, and in the production of abrasive papers and pigments.Main applications of zirconium: - Nuclear industry (fuel rod cladding) - Chemical industry equipment - Alloying in steel and surgical instruments - Flashlight powder in fireworks and signals - Abrasive paper and pigment manufacturingKey properties of zirconium: - Exceptional corrosion resistance - Good flexibility and ductility - Low electrical conductivity - Good thermal conductivity - Excellent resistance to nearly all acids and aqueous bases - Pyrophoric in powdered form - Non-toxicOrder zirconium quickly and securely from Evek GmbH—your reliable supplier with worldwide shipping.
