Zirconium is a heavy metal belonging to the titanium group, known for its exceptional corrosion resistance, good flexibility, and relatively soft nature. 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. This metal resists acids but can be attacked at room temperature by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid. Zirconium is not sensitive to aqueous bases and, when finely divided, is pyrophoric. It is non-toxic and naturally present in the human body.

At Evek GmbH, we offer competitive prices on zirconium and strive to deliver high-quality products along with excellent customer service.

Zirconium is primarily used in the nuclear industry, especially for manufacturing cladding for uranium fuel rods using the Zircaloy alloy. It is also applied in the construction of chemical plants for making valves, pumps, and stirrers. As an alloying element, zirconium enhances the corrosion resistance of steel and is used in surgical instruments. Its smokeless combustion makes it ideal for use in fireworks and signal lights. Other applications include the production of abrasive paper and pigments.

Typical uses of zirconium include:

• Nuclear power plants (fuel rod cladding);
• Chemical plant construction;
• Alloying with steel and making surgical instruments;
• Fireworks and signal lights (as flashlight powder);
• Manufacturing abrasive paper and pigments.

Zirconium stands out for its:

• Exceptional corrosion resistance;
• Good flexibility and ductility;
• Poor electrical conductivity;
• Relatively good thermal conductivity;
• Excellent resistance to most acids and aqueous bases;
• Pyrophoric properties in powder form;
• Non-toxic nature.
