Please refer to our FAQ.Zirconium is a heavy metal within the titanium group, known for its exceptional corrosion resistance, good flexibility, and relatively soft texture. It is easily rolled, forged, and hammered. While zirconium has low electrical conductivity, it conducts heat well. At high temperatures, it reacts with many nonmetals, but due to passivation, it remains stable in air. The metal is highly resistant to acids, though it can be attacked by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid at room temperature. Zirconium is not affected by aqueous bases, and in fine powder form, it is pyrophoric. It is non-toxic and naturally present in the human body.At Evek GmbH’s online shop, you will find competitive zirconium prices. We are committed to delivering high-quality products and excellent customer service.The primary application of zirconium is in nuclear power plants, where it is used to produce shells for uranium fuel rods, typically from the Zircaloy alloy. Zirconium is also utilized in the construction of chemical plants (for items like valves, pumps, and stirrers). As an alloying element, it enhances the corrosion resistance of steel and is used in surgical instruments. Due to its smokeless combustion, zirconium is also used in flash powders for fireworks and signal lights.Typical uses for zirconium include: - Nuclear power plants (fuel rod cladding) - Chemical industry (equipment construction) - Alloying metal (for steel and surgical instruments) - Flash powders (fireworks, signal lights) - Manufacturing abrasive papers and pigmentsKey properties of zirconium: - Extremely high corrosion resistance - Good flexibility and malleability - Poor electrical conductivity - Good thermal conductivity - Outstanding resistance to most acids and aqueous bases - Pyrophoric in powder form - Non-toxicWith Evek GmbH as your trusted supplier, you can purchase zirconium quickly and easily.
