Please refer to our FAQ for details.Zirconium is a heavy metal belonging to the titanium group, known for its exceptional corrosion resistance, flexibility, and relative softness. It is easy to roll, forge, and hammer. While zirconium is a poor conductor of electricity, it has good thermal conductivity. At elevated temperatures, it reacts with most nonmetals but remains stable in air due to passivation. Zirconium resists most acids but can be attacked at room temperature by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid. It is unaffected by aqueous bases and, in finely divided form, is pyrophoric. Zirconium is non-toxic and naturally occurs in the body.We offer competitive zirconium prices in the Evek GmbH online shop, ensuring high-quality products and excellent service.Zirconium’s primary use is in the nuclear industry, particularly for manufacturing shells for uranium fuel elements from the Zircaloy alloy. It is also widely used in chemical plant construction for components like valves, pumps, and stirrers. As an alloying metal, zirconium enhances steel’s corrosion resistance and is utilized for surgical instruments. Due to its smokeless combustion, zirconium is also used in flashlight powders for fireworks and signal lights.Applications of zirconium include: - Nuclear power plants (fuel element shells) - Chemical industry (equipment and plant construction) - Alloying metal (steel, surgical instruments) - Flashlight powders (fireworks, signal lights) - Manufacturing abrasive papers and pigmentsKey properties of zirconium: - Extremely high corrosion resistance - Good flexibility and ductility - Low electrical conductivity - Good thermal conductivity - Excellent resistance to most acids and aqueous bases - Pyrophoric in powder form - Non-toxicOrder zirconium quickly and easily from Evek GmbH, your reliable supplier.
