Zirconium is easy to roll, forge, and hammer. While it is a poor conductor of electricity, it conducts heat relatively well. At high temperatures, zirconium reacts with most nonmetals, but due to passivation, it is stable in air. The metal is resistant to acids, but can be attacked at room temperature by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid. Zirconium is not affected by aqueous bases and, in powder form, is pyrophoric. It is non-toxic and naturally present in the human body.Evek GmbH offers competitive zirconium prices in our online shop, along with high-quality products and excellent service.Zirconium is primarily used in nuclear power plants, where it is made into cladding for uranium fuel elements (Zircaloy alloy). It is also utilized in chemical plant construction (valves, pumps, agitators), as an alloying element to boost steel corrosion resistance, and in surgical instruments. Due to its smokeless combustion, zirconium is used in flashlight powders for fireworks and signal lights.Typical applications for zirconium include: - Nuclear power plants (fuel element cladding) - Chemical industry (plant construction) - Alloying element for steel and surgical tools - Flashlight powders for fireworks and signal lights - Manufacturing of abrasive paper and pigmentsKey properties of zirconium: - Extremely high corrosion resistance - Good flexibility and workability - Poor electrical conductivity - Good thermal conductivity - Excellent resistance to most acids and aqueous bases - Pyrophoric in powdered form - Non-toxicWith Evek GmbH, a trusted supplier, you can easily purchase zirconium online.
