Please refer to our FAQ.Zirconium is a heavy metal in the titanium group, known for its exceptional corrosion resistance, good flexibility, and relatively soft structure. It can be easily rolled, forged, and hammered. While zirconium is a poor electrical conductor, it conducts heat relatively well. At high temperatures, it reacts with most nonmetals, but remains stable in air due to passivation. Zirconium is acid-resistant, though it is affected by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid at room temperature. It is not sensitive to aqueous bases. In powdered form, zirconium has pyrophoric properties. It is non-toxic and occurs naturally in the human body.Evek GmbH offers up-to-date zirconium prices in our online shop and is committed to providing high-quality products and excellent service.Zirconium is primarily used in nuclear power plants, where it forms the cladding for uranium fuel rods (as Zircaloy alloy). It is also utilized in the chemical industry for constructing equipment such as valves, pumps, and stirrers. As an alloying element, it improves steel’s corrosion resistance and is used in surgical instruments. Additionally, zirconium is used in fireworks and signal lights due to its smokeless combustion, and in the production of abrasive paper and pigments.Main uses of zirconium include: - Nuclear power plant fuel rod cladding - Chemical plant construction - Alloying material for steel and surgical instruments - Flashlight powder for fireworks and signal lights - Manufacturing of abrasive paper and pigmentsKey properties of zirconium: - Outstanding corrosion resistance - Good flexibility and ductility - Low electrical conductivity - Good heat conductivity - Excellent resistance to most acids and aqueous bases - Pyrophoric in powder form - Non-toxicBuy zirconium easily and securely from Evek GmbH—a trusted supplier with worldwide delivery.
