Please see our FAQ for details.Zirconium is a heavy metal belonging to the titanium group, known for its exceptional corrosion resistance, good ductility, and relatively soft texture. It is easy to roll, forge, and hammer. 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 resists most acids but is attacked by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid at room temperature, and is not affected by aqueous bases. Finely divided zirconium can be pyrophoric. It is non-toxic and naturally present in the human body.Evek GmbH offers up-to-date prices on zirconium in our online shop. We are dedicated to delivering top-quality products and outstanding service.The primary use of zirconium is in the nuclear industry, where it is used to make shells for uranium fuel rods (Zircaloy alloy). It is also widely used in chemical plant construction (valves, pumps, agitators), as an alloying metal to improve steel’s corrosion resistance, and in surgical instruments. Due to its smokeless combustion, zirconium is also used in fireworks and signal flares. Additionally, it is used in the production of abrasive papers and pigments.Typical applications of zirconium include: - Nuclear power plants (fuel rod cladding) - Chemical industry equipment - Alloying for steel and surgical tools - Flashlight powder for fireworks and signal lights - Abrasive papers and pigmentsKey properties of zirconium: - Extremely high corrosion resistance - Good flexibility and ductility - Low electrical conductivity - Relatively good thermal conductivity - Excellent resistance to most acids and aqueous bases - Pyrophoric when in powder form - Non-toxicBuy zirconium from Evek GmbH—your reliable supplier.
