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 thanks to passivation, it remains stable in air. The metal resists acids, but aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid can attack it at room temperature. Zirconium is not affected by aqueous bases and, in powdered form, is pyrophoric. It is non-toxic and naturally present in the human body.At Evek GmbH, you can find up-to-date zirconium prices and benefit from high-quality products and excellent service.Zirconium is primarily used in nuclear power plants, where it serves as the material for uranium fuel element cladding (Zircaloy). It is also utilized in the chemical industry for constructing equipment like valves, pumps, and stirrers. As an alloying element, zirconium enhances the corrosion resistance of steel and is used in surgical instruments. Due to its smokeless combustion, it also finds application in fireworks, signal flares, and the production of abrasive papers and pigments.Typical uses of zirconium include: - Nuclear power plant components (fuel element cladding) - Chemical plant construction - Alloying metal for steel and surgical instruments - Firework and signal light powders - Abrasive papers and pigmentsKey properties of zirconium: - Exceptional corrosion resistance - Good flexibility and ductility - Poor electrical conductivity - Relatively good thermal conductivity - High resistance to most acids and aqueous bases - Pyrophoric in powder form - Non-toxicOrder zirconium quickly and easily from Evek GmbH—a trusted global supplier.
