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 thanks to passivation, it remains stable in air. Zirconium is highly resistant to acids but can be affected by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid at room temperature. It is not sensitive to aqueous bases, and in powdered form, it can be pyrophoric. Zirconium is non-toxic and naturally occurs in the human body.At Evek GmbH, you can always find up-to-date zirconium pricing in our online shop. We are committed to offering high-quality products and excellent customer service.Zirconium’s primary use is in nuclear power plants, where it is used to make cladding for uranium fuel rods from the Zircaloy alloy. It is also utilized in the chemical industry for manufacturing components such as valves, pumps, and stirrers. As an alloying element, zirconium improves the corrosion resistance of steel and is used in surgical instruments. Its smokeless combustion makes it ideal for use in fireworks and signal flares. Zirconium is also used in the production of abrasive papers and pigments.Key properties of zirconium include: - Outstanding corrosion resistance - Good flexibility and ductility - Low electrical conductivity - Good thermal conductivity - Exceptional resistance to nearly all acids and aqueous bases - Pyrophoric in fine powder form - Non-toxicYou can purchase zirconium easily and securely through Evek GmbH, a trusted supplier with worldwide delivery.
