It can be easily rolled, forged, and hammered. While zirconium conducts heat fairly well, it is a poor conductor of electricity. At high temperatures, it reacts with most nonmetals but is stable in air due to passivation. Zirconium resists acids but can be attacked at room temperature by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid. It is not affected by aqueous bases and, in powder form, displays pyrophoric properties. Zirconium is non-toxic and naturally present in the human body.Evek GmbH’s online shop offers competitive zirconium prices and high-quality products with excellent service.Zirconium’s primary use is in nuclear power plants, where zirconium alloys like Zircaloy are used for uranium fuel element cladding. It’s also utilized in chemical plant construction (valves, pumps, stirrers), as an alloying metal to enhance steel’s corrosion resistance, and for making surgical instruments. Due to its smokeless combustion, zirconium is used in fireworks and signal flares. It is also found in abrasive paper and pigments.Typical uses for zirconium include: - Nuclear power plants (fuel element cladding) - Chemical industry (plant construction) - Alloying metal for steel and surgical tools - Flashlight powder for fireworks and signal lights - Manufacture of abrasive paper and pigmentsKey properties of zirconium: - High corrosion resistance - Good flexibility and extensibility - Poor electrical conductivity - Good thermal conductivity - Excellent resistance to most acids and aqueous bases - Pyrophoric in powder form - Non-toxicOrder zirconium easily from Evek GmbH – your reliable supplier.
