It is easy to roll, forge, and hammer. While zirconium is a poor electrical conductor, it has fairly good thermal conductivity. At elevated temperatures, it reacts with most nonmetals, but thanks to passivation, zirconium remains stable in air. The metal is highly resistant to acids, except for aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid, which can attack it even at room temperature. Zirconium is unaffected by aqueous bases and, in a finely divided state, exhibits pyrophoric properties. It is non-toxic and naturally present in the human body.At Evek GmbH, you can find up-to-date prices for zirconium in our online shop. We are committed to offering high-quality products and excellent customer service.Zirconium is primarily used in the nuclear power industry, especially for making cladding for uranium fuel rods using Zircaloy alloys. It is also utilized in the chemical industry for manufacturing plant components like valves, pumps, and mixers. 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 fireworks and signal flares as a flashlight powder.Typical applications of zirconium include:- Nuclear power plants (cladding of uranium fuel rods) - Chemical industry (plant construction) - Alloying metal for steel and surgical instruments - Flashlight powder for fireworks and signal flares - Production of abrasive papers and pigmentsKey properties of zirconium:- Extremely high corrosion resistance - Good flexibility and extensibility - Low electrical conductivity - Relatively high thermal conductivity - Outstanding resistance to most acids and aqueous bases - Pyrophoric in powder form - Non-toxicWith Evek GmbH as your trusted supplier, you can easily purchase zirconium with just a few clicks.
