It is easy to roll, forge, and hammer. While zirconium is a poor conductor of electricity, it conducts heat fairly well. At high temperatures, it reacts with most nonmetals but remains stable in air due to passivation. The metal resists most acids but can be attacked by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid even at room temperature. It is also resistant to aqueous bases. In finely divided form, zirconium can be pyrophoric. It is non-toxic and naturally present in the human body.At Evek GmbH, we offer up-to-date zirconium prices and high-quality products with excellent customer service.Zirconium is primarily used in nuclear power plants, where it serves as cladding for uranium fuel rods (in the Zircaloy alloy). It is also found in chemical plant construction (e.g., valves, pumps, stirrers), and as an alloying element, it enhances steel's corrosion resistance. Surgical instruments are often made from zirconium alloys. Due to its smokeless combustion, it is used as flashlight powder in fireworks and signal flares.Applications of zirconium include: - Nuclear power industry (fuel rod cladding) - Chemical industry (plant construction) - Alloying element (steel, surgical instruments) - Flashlight powder (fireworks, signal lights) - Production of abrasive paper and pigmentsKey properties of zirconium: - Extremely high corrosion resistance - Good flexibility and formability - Poor electrical conductivity - Good thermal conductivity - Excellent resistance to most acids and aqueous bases - Pyrophoric in powder form - Non-toxicYou can easily purchase zirconium from Evek GmbH, your reliable supplier.
