Please see our FAQ for details.Zirconium is a heavy metal from the titanium group, known for its exceptional corrosion resistance, high flexibility, and relatively soft texture. It is easy to roll, forge, and hammer. While zirconium is a poor conductor of electricity, it has good thermal conductivity. At high temperatures, it reacts with most nonmetals, but in air it forms a stable passivated layer. This metal resists acids, though it can be attacked by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid at room temperature. Zirconium does not react with aqueous bases and, in powdered form, can be pyrophoric. It is non-toxic and naturally present in the human body.At Evek GmbH, we offer competitive zirconium prices and pride ourselves on providing high-quality products and excellent customer service.Zirconium is mainly used in nuclear power plants, especially for making shells for uranium fuel rods from the Zircaloy alloy. It is also utilized in the chemical industry for plant construction (such as valves, pumps, and stirrers), and as an alloying element to enhance the corrosion resistance of steel. Zirconium alloys are also used in surgical instruments. Thanks to its smokeless combustion, zirconium is found in flashlight powders for fireworks and signal flares.Typical applications for zirconium include: - Nuclear power plant components (fuel rod cladding) - Chemical plant construction - Alloying in steel and surgical instruments - Flashlight powders for fireworks and signal flares - Manufacturing abrasive papers and pigmentsKey properties of zirconium: - Outstanding corrosion resistance - Good flexibility and ductility - Low electrical conductivity - Good thermal conductivity - High resistance to almost all acids and aqueous bases - Pyrophoric when finely divided - Non-toxicWith Evek GmbH, you can easily purchase zirconium online.
