Please refer to our FAQ for details.Zirconium is a heavy metal belonging to the titanium group, known for its exceptional corrosion resistance, good flexibility, and relatively soft structure. It is easy to roll, forge, and hammer, while being a poor electrical conductor but a relatively good conductor of heat. At high temperatures, zirconium reacts with most nonmetals, but due to passivation, it remains stable in air and resistant to acids. However, it can be attacked by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid at room temperature. Zirconium is not sensitive to aqueous bases and, in powder form, is pyrophoric. Non-toxic and naturally present in the body, zirconium is a safe and versatile metal.At Evek GmbH, you can find competitive prices for zirconium in our online shop. We are committed to providing you with high-quality products and excellent customer service.Zirconium’s primary application is in nuclear power plants, where it is used to make shells for uranium fuel elements using Zircaloy alloy. It is also used in the chemical industry for constructing equipment such as valves, pumps, and stirrers. As an alloying metal, zirconium enhances the corrosion resistance of steel and is used in surgical instruments. Its smokeless combustion makes it suitable for flashlight powders in fireworks and signal lights.Main uses of zirconium: - Nuclear power plants (fuel element shells) - Chemical industry (plant construction) - Alloying metal (steel, surgical instruments) - Flashlight powder (fireworks, signal lights) - Abrasive paper and pigment productionKey characteristics of zirconium: - Excellent corrosion resistance - Good flexibility and ductility - Poor electrical conductivity - Relatively good heat conductivity - High resistance to acids and aqueous bases - Pyrophoric in powder form - Non-toxicPurchase zirconium easily from Evek GmbH, your reliable supplier.
