Please refer to our FAQ for details.Zirconium is a heavy metal belonging to the titanium group, known for its outstanding corrosion resistance, flexibility, and relatively soft texture. It can be easily rolled, forged, and hammered. While it is a poor conductor of electricity, it conducts heat relatively well. Zirconium reacts with most nonmetals at high temperatures, but remains stable in air due to passivation. It is highly resistant to acids, though it can be attacked by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid at room temperature. Zirconium is not affected by aqueous bases and, in finely divided form, displays pyrophoric properties. The metal is non-toxic and naturally present in the human body.At Evek GmbH, we offer competitive prices for zirconium and pride ourselves on delivering top-quality products and excellent service.Zirconium is primarily used in nuclear power plants, particularly for making shells of uranium fuel rods from Zircaloy alloy. It is also widely utilized in chemical plant construction for components such as valves, pumps, and stirrers. As an alloying element, zirconium enhances the corrosion resistance of steel and is used in surgical instruments. Due to its smokeless combustion, it is used in flashlight powders for fireworks and signal flares.Main applications of zirconium: - Nuclear power plants (fuel rod cladding) - Chemical industry (equipment construction) - Alloying metal for steel and surgical tools - Flashlight powder for fireworks and signal lights - Production of abrasive paper and pigmentsKey properties of zirconium: - Exceptionally high corrosion resistance - Good flexibility and ductility - Low electrical conductivity - Good thermal conductivity - Excellent resistance to most acids and aqueous bases - Pyrophoric when finely divided - Non-toxicEvek GmbH is your reliable source for zirconium, offering worldwide shipping and attentive customer support.
