Please refer to our FAQ for more details.Zirconium is a heavy metal belonging to the titanium group, known for its outstanding corrosion resistance, flexibility, and relatively soft structure. It is easy to roll, forge, and hammer. While zirconium conducts heat well, it conducts electricity poorly. At high temperatures, it reacts with most nonmetals, but it remains stable in air due to passivation. Zirconium is resistant to acids, though it can be attacked by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid at room temperature. It is not affected by aqueous bases and, in fine powder form, can be pyrophoric. The metal is non-toxic and naturally present in the human body.At Evek GmbH, you can find competitive pricing for zirconium and depend on us for top-quality products and excellent customer service.The primary use for zirconium is in nuclear power plants, where it is used to make cladding for uranium fuel rods (Zircaloy alloy). Zirconium is also widely used in the chemical industry for manufacturing components such as valves, pumps, and stirrers, and as an alloying element to enhance steel’s corrosion resistance. Surgical instruments are often made from zirconium alloys, and due to its smokeless combustion, it is used in fireworks and signal lights. Additionally, zirconium is used in abrasive paper and pigment production.Key advantages of zirconium include: - Exceptional resistance to corrosion - Good flexibility and ductility - Poor electrical but good thermal conductivity - High resistance to nearly all acids and aqueous bases - Pyrophoric behavior in powder form - Non-toxic propertiesYou can purchase zirconium quickly and easily through Evek GmbH, your reliable supplier.
