It is easy to roll, forge, and hammer. While it is a poor conductor of electricity, it conducts heat relatively well. At high temperatures, it reacts with most nonmetals. Due to passivation, zirconium remains stable in air and resists acids, though it is attacked by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid even at room temperature. It is not affected by aqueous bases and, in powdered form, displays pyrophoric properties. Zirconium is non-toxic and naturally present in the human body.In our Evek GmbH online shop, you will find competitive prices for zirconium. We are committed to offering high-quality products and outstanding customer service.The primary use of zirconium is in the nuclear power industry, where it is used for cladding uranium fuel elements made from Zircaloy alloy. It is also widely employed in chemical plant construction for components like valves, pumps, and stirrers. As an alloying element, zirconium enhances the corrosion resistance of steel and is used in surgical instruments. Additionally, its smokeless combustion makes it ideal for use in flashlight powder for fireworks and signal lights.Typical applications for zirconium include: - Nuclear power plants (fuel element cladding) - Chemical industry (plant construction) - Alloying agent (steel, surgical instruments) - Flashlight powder for fireworks and signal lights - Manufacture of abrasive paper and pigmentsKey properties of zirconium: - Extremely high corrosion resistance - Good flexibility and ductility - Low electrical conductivity - Good thermal conductivity - Outstanding resistance to most acids and aqueous bases - Pyrophoric in powdered form - Non-toxicBuy zirconium quickly and easily from Evek GmbH, your trusted supplier.
