Please check our FAQ for details.Zirconium is a heavy metal belonging to the titanium group, known for its exceptional corrosion resistance, flexibility, and softness. It can be easily rolled, forged, or hammered, and while it is a poor conductor of electricity, it conducts heat relatively well. Zirconium is stable in air due to passivation and resists most acids, but can be attacked by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid at room temperature. It is unaffected by aqueous bases, and in finely divided form, it is pyrophoric. Zirconium is non-toxic and naturally present in the human body.At Evek GmbH, you can find up-to-date zirconium prices and high-quality products, backed by excellent service.Zirconium is primarily used in the nuclear industry, especially for manufacturing shells for uranium fuel elements from Zircaloy alloy. It is also widely used in chemical plant construction (valves, pumps, stirrers), as an alloying element to increase steel’s corrosion resistance, and in surgical instruments. Thanks to its smokeless combustion, zirconium serves as a component in flashlight powders for fireworks and signal lights. Additionally, it is used in producing abrasive paper and pigments.Typical applications for zirconium include: - Nuclear power plants (fuel element casings) - Chemical industry (plant construction) - Alloying metal for steel and surgical instruments - Flashlight powder for fireworks and signal lights - Abrasive paper and pigment productionKey properties of zirconium: - Extremely high corrosion resistance - Good flexibility and ductility - Low electrical conductivity - Relatively good thermal conductivity - Outstanding resistance to most acids and aqueous bases - Pyrophoric in powder form - Non-toxicWith Evek GmbH, your trusted supplier, you can buy zirconium quickly and easily online.
