It is easy to roll, forge, and hammer, making it versatile for various applications. While zirconium is a poor conductor of electricity, it conducts heat well. It is stable in air due to its natural passivation layer and resists most acids, except aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid at room temperature. Zirconium is not affected by aqueous bases and, in powder form, is pyrophoric. This non-toxic metal is also naturally present in the human body.At Evek GmbH, you can find up-to-date zirconium prices in our online shop. We are committed to offering high-quality products and excellent customer service.The main application for zirconium is in nuclear power plants, especially in the production of shells for uranium fuel elements using Zircaloy alloys. It is also widely used in the chemical industry for constructing plant components like valves, pumps, and stirrers. As an alloying element, zirconium enhances the corrosion resistance of steel and is used to manufacture surgical instruments. Additionally, it is used as a component in flashlight powders for fireworks and signal lights due to its smokeless combustion, as well as in the production of abrasive paper and pigments.Typical uses for zirconium include:- Nuclear power plants (fuel element cladding) - Chemical plant construction - Alloying in steel and surgical instruments - Flashlight powder for fireworks and signal lights - Production of abrasive paper and pigmentsKey properties of zirconium:- Extremely high resistance to corrosion - Good flexibility and ductility - Poor electrical conductivity - Relatively good thermal conductivity - Excellent resistance to almost all acids and aqueous bases - Pyrophoric in powder form - Non-toxicPurchase zirconium quickly and easily from Evek GmbH, your trusted supplier.
