Please refer to our FAQ.Zirconium is a heavy metal belonging to the titanium group. It boasts excellent corrosion resistance, good flexibility, and is relatively soft. Zirconium is easy to roll, forge, and hammer. While it is a poor conductor of electricity, it conducts heat relatively well. At elevated temperatures, zirconium reacts with many nonmetals, but thanks to passivation, it remains stable in air. The metal resists most acids but is affected by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid even at room temperature. Zirconium is not sensitive to aqueous bases. In finely divided form, it is pyrophoric. It is non-toxic and naturally occurs in the body.In our Evek GmbH online shop, you can find up-to-date zirconium prices. We are committed to offering you high-quality products and outstanding service.Zirconium is primarily used in the nuclear energy sector, especially for making shells for uranium fuel rods using Zircaloy alloy. It is also employed in chemical plant construction for components such as valves, pumps, and stirrers. As an alloying element, zirconium enhances the corrosion resistance of steels and is used in surgical instruments. Thanks to its smokeless combustion, it is also used in flashlight powders for fireworks and signal lights.Applications of zirconium include: - Nuclear power plants (fuel rod cladding) - Chemical industry (plant construction) - Alloying metal (steel, surgical tools) - Flashlight powder (fireworks, signal flares) - Abrasive paper and pigment productionKey properties of zirconium: - Outstanding corrosion resistance - Good flexibility and ductility - Poor electrical conductivity - Good thermal conductivity - Excellent resistance to most acids and aqueous bases - Pyrophoric in powder form - Non-toxicWith Evek GmbH, a trusted supplier, you can easily purchase zirconium online.
