It is easy to roll, forge, and hammer. While zirconium is a poor conductor of electricity, it conducts heat relatively well. At high temperatures, it reacts with most nonmetals, but remains stable in air due to passivation. The metal resists most acids, though it can be attacked at room temperature by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid. It is not affected by aqueous bases and, in powdered form, exhibits pyrophoric properties. Zirconium is non-toxic and naturally present in the human body.At Evek GmbH, you’ll find competitive zirconium prices and high-quality products with excellent customer service.Zirconium’s primary use is in nuclear power plants, where it is used to produce shells for uranium fuel elements using the Zircaloy alloy. It is also utilized in chemical plant construction (such as valves, pumps, and stirrers) and as an alloying element to improve steel’s corrosion resistance. In addition, zirconium alloys are used to manufacture surgical instruments. Thanks to its smokeless combustion, zirconium is used in flashlight powders for fireworks and signal flares.Main applications for zirconium: - Nuclear power plants (fuel element cladding) - Chemical industry (plant construction) - As an alloying metal (steel, surgical tools) - Flashlight powder (fireworks, signal lights) - Abrasive paper and pigment productionKey properties of zirconium: - Very high resistance to corrosion - Good flexibility and ductility - Poor electrical conductivity - Relatively good heat conductivity - Excellent resistance to most acids and aqueous bases - Pyrophoric in powder form - Non-toxicOrder zirconium easily online with Evek GmbH, your reliable supplier.
