Please check our FAQ for details.Zirconium belongs to the titanium group of heavy metals, known for its exceptional corrosion resistance and good flexibility. It is relatively soft and can be rolled, forged, or hammered easily. While zirconium is a poor conductor of electricity, it has relatively good thermal conductivity. Thanks to passivation, it remains stable in air and is resistant to most acids, though aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid can attack it at room temperature. Zirconium does not react with aqueous bases and is non-toxic. In fine powder form, it can be pyrophoric.You can find current zirconium prices in our Evek GmbH online shop. We are committed to delivering high-quality products and outstanding service.Zirconium’s main application is in nuclear power plants, especially for cladding uranium fuel rods using the Zircaloy alloy. It is also used in chemical plant construction (valves, pumps, stirrers), as an alloying element to enhance steel’s corrosion resistance, and for surgical instruments. Due to its smokeless combustion, zirconium serves as flashlight powder in fireworks and signal lights.Typical uses for zirconium include: - Nuclear power plants (fuel rod cladding) - Chemical industry equipment - Alloying in steel and surgical tools - Flashlight powder for fireworks and signal lights - Abrasive paper and pigment manufacturingKey features: - Extremely high corrosion resistance - Good flexibility and ductility - Low electrical conductivity - Good thermal conductivity - Excellent resistance to most acids and bases - Pyrophoric in powder form - Non-toxicBuy zirconium easily from Evek GmbH—a trusted supplier with worldwide shipping.
