Please refer to our FAQ for details.Zirconium is a heavy metal belonging to the titanium group, known for its exceptional corrosion resistance, flexibility, and softness. It is easy to roll, forge, and hammer. While zirconium is a poor conductor of electricity, it conducts heat relatively well. At high temperatures, it reacts with most nonmetals, but remains stable in air due to passivation. Zirconium is acid-resistant, though it can be attacked by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid at room temperature; it is not affected by aqueous bases. In finely divided form, zirconium is pyrophoric. The metal is non-toxic and naturally present in the human body.At Evek GmbH’s online shop, we offer competitive zirconium prices and pride ourselves on providing high-quality products and excellent customer service.Zirconium’s main use is in nuclear power plants, where it is used to make shells for uranium fuel elements from Zircaloy alloy. It is also used in the construction of chemical plants for items such as valves, pumps, and stirrers. As an alloying element, zirconium enhances steel’s corrosion resistance and is used in surgical instruments. Due to its smokeless combustion, zirconium is utilized as flashlight powder in fireworks and signal lights.Applications of zirconium include: - Nuclear power plants (fuel element cladding) - Chemical industry (construction of plant equipment) - Alloying (steel, surgical instruments) - Fireworks and signal lights (flashlight powder) - Production of abrasive paper and pigmentsKey properties of zirconium: - Very high corrosion resistance - Good flexibility and extensibility - Poor electrical conductivity - Relatively 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.
