Please refer to our FAQ for more 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, making it versatile in processing. While zirconium is a poor conductor of electricity, it has relatively good thermal conductivity. At high temperatures, it reacts with most nonmetals but remains stable in air due to passivation. The metal is highly resistant to acids, though it can be affected by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid at room temperature. Zirconium is not sensitive to aqueous bases and is non-toxic, even present in the human body. In finely divided form, it displays pyrophoric properties.At Evek GmbH, we offer competitive zirconium prices and pride ourselves on delivering high-quality products with excellent customer service.The primary use of zirconium is in the nuclear industry, where it is used for cladding uranium fuel elements (Zircaloy alloy). Additionally, it is utilized in the chemical industry for equipment like valves, pumps, and stirrers. As an alloying element, zirconium enhances the corrosion resistance of steel and is used in surgical instruments. Its smokeless combustion makes it valuable for flashlight powder in fireworks and signal lights. Zirconium is also used in the production of abrasive paper and pigments.Main applications of zirconium: - Nuclear power plants (cladding for uranium fuel elements) - Chemical engineering (plant construction) - Alloying metal for steel and surgical instruments - Flashlight powder for fireworks and signal lights - Manufacture of abrasive papers and pigmentsKey properties of zirconium: - Outstanding corrosion resistance - Good flexibility and ductility - Poor electrical conductivity - Good thermal conductivity - Excellent resistance to most acids and aqueous bases - Pyrophoric in powder form - Non-toxicEvek GmbH is your reliable supplier for zirconium, offering worldwide delivery and dedicated service.
