It is easy to roll, forge, and hammer, making it versatile for various manufacturing processes. While it does not conduct electricity well, it has relatively good thermal conductivity. Zirconium remains stable in air due to passivation and is resistant to most acids, except for aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid at room temperature. The metal is unaffected by aqueous bases and, in powder form, is pyrophoric. Zirconium is non-toxic and naturally present in the human body.At Evek GmbH, you can find up-to-date zirconium prices and benefit from our commitment to high-quality products and excellent customer service.The primary application of zirconium is in the nuclear industry, particularly for cladding uranium fuel rods using Zircaloy alloy. It is also used in the chemical industry for manufacturing plant components like valves, pumps, and agitators. As an alloying element, zirconium enhances the corrosion resistance of steel and is used to produce surgical instruments. Due to its smokeless combustion, it is employed in flash powders for fireworks and signal flares.Common uses of zirconium include: - Nuclear power plant components (fuel rod cladding) - Chemical plant construction - Alloying in steel and surgical instruments - Flashlight powders for fireworks and signal lights - Manufacturing abrasive paper and pigmentsKey properties of zirconium: - High resistance to corrosion - Good flexibility and ductility - Low electrical conductivity - Good heat conductivity - Exceptional resistance to acids and aqueous bases - Pyrophoric in powder form - Non-toxicPurchase zirconium easily from Evek GmbH, a trusted supplier with worldwide delivery.
