Please refer to our FAQ for details.Zirconium is a heavy metal classified in the titanium group, known for its exceptional corrosion resistance, good flexibility, and relatively soft texture. It is easy to roll, forge, and hammer. While zirconium has low electrical conductivity, it conducts heat fairly well. At elevated temperatures, it reacts with most nonmetals, but remains stable in air due to passivation. Zirconium is resistant to most acids, but can be attacked by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid at room temperature. It is not affected by aqueous bases and is non-toxic. In finely divided form, zirconium can be pyrophoric and is naturally present in the human body.In our Evek GmbH online shop, we offer competitive prices for zirconium and pride ourselves on delivering high-quality products and outstanding service.Zirconium is primarily used in nuclear power plants, particularly for uranium fuel element cladding made from Zircaloy alloy. It is also utilized in chemical plant construction (valves, pumps, stirrers), as an alloying element to enhance steel’s corrosion resistance, and in the production of surgical instruments. Additionally, zirconium finds use in fireworks and signal lights due to its smokeless combustion, as well as in abrasive paper and pigment manufacturing.Main applications of zirconium: - Nuclear power plants (fuel element cladding) - Chemical industry (equipment construction) - Alloying metal for steel and surgical instruments - Flashlight powder for fireworks and signal lights - Production of abrasive paper and pigmentsKey properties of zirconium: - Outstanding corrosion resistance - Good flexibility and ductility - Poor electrical conductivity - Relatively high thermal conductivity - Excellent resistance to almost all acids and aqueous bases - Pyrophoric in powder form - Non-toxicEvek GmbH is a trusted supplier that allows you to easily purchase zirconium online.
