Please see 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 it is a poor electrical conductor, it conducts heat relatively well. At high temperatures, zirconium reacts with most nonmetals, but thanks to passivation, it remains stable in air. It is resistant to most acids, although it can be attacked by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid at room temperature. Zirconium is unaffected by aqueous bases and, in powder form, is pyrophoric. It is non-toxic and naturally occurs in the human body.We offer competitive zirconium prices in the Evek GmbH online shop, supplying high-quality products and excellent service.Zirconium’s primary application is in nuclear power plants, where it is used for uranium fuel element cladding (Zircaloy alloy). It is also used in chemical plant construction (valves, pumps, stirrers), as an alloying element to enhance steel’s corrosion resistance, and in surgical instruments. Due to its smokeless combustion, zirconium is utilized in flashlight powder for fireworks and signal lights.Applications of zirconium include: - Nuclear power plants (fuel element cladding) - Chemical industry (plant construction) - Alloy metal (steel, surgical instruments) - Flashlight powder (fireworks, 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 almost all acids and aqueous bases - Pyrophoric in powder form - Non-toxicAs a trusted supplier, Evek GmbH offers zirconium for worldwide delivery.
