Please see 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 texture. It is easy to roll, forge, and hammer. While it does not conduct electricity well, it does offer decent thermal conductivity. Zirconium remains stable in air due to passivation, resists acids, but can be attacked at room temperature by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid. It is not affected by aqueous bases and, in finely divided form, displays pyrophoric properties. Zirconium is non-toxic and naturally present in the human body.At Evek GmbH, we offer up-to-date zirconium prices and pride ourselves on delivering high-quality products and excellent service.Zirconium’s primary use is in nuclear power plants, where it is used for uranium fuel element cladding, especially in the Zircaloy alloy. It is also essential in the chemical industry for manufacturing components like valves, pumps, and stirrers, and as an alloying element, it enhances the corrosion resistance of steel. Surgical instruments and devices benefit from zirconium alloys as well. Due to its smokeless combustion, it is used in fireworks, signal lights, and also in producing abrasive paper and pigments.Key applications of zirconium include: - Nuclear power plants (fuel element cladding) - Chemical industry (plant construction) - Alloy manufacturing (steel, surgical instruments) - Fireworks and signal lights - Abrasive paper and pigment productionDistinctive properties of zirconium: - Very high resistance to corrosion - Good flexibility and ductility - Low electrical conductivity - Good thermal conductivity - Excellent resistance to most acids and aqueous bases - Pyrophoric in powder form - Non-toxicWith Evek GmbH, you can easily purchase zirconium online.
