It is relatively soft and can be easily rolled, forged, or hammered. While zirconium is a poor conductor of electricity, it effectively conducts heat. The metal remains stable in air due to passivation and resists most acids, though it can be attacked by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid at room temperature. Zirconium is unaffected by aqueous bases and, in finely divided form, is pyrophoric. It is non-toxic and naturally present in the human body.Our online shop at Evek GmbH offers up-to-date zirconium prices. We are committed to delivering high-quality products and excellent customer service.Zirconium is primarily used in the nuclear industry, especially for producing shells for uranium fuel rods using the Zircaloy alloy. It is also utilized in chemical plant construction (valves, pumps, stirrers), as an alloying element to enhance steel’s corrosion resistance, and in the manufacture of surgical instruments. Due to its smokeless combustion, zirconium is used as a flash powder in fireworks and signal flares, and it also finds use in making abrasive papers and pigments.Applications of zirconium include: - Nuclear power plants (fuel rod casings) - Chemical industry (equipment construction) - Alloy production (steel, surgical tools) - Flash powder for fireworks and signal lights - Abrasive papers and pigment manufacturingKey properties of zirconium: - Excellent corrosion resistance - Good flexibility and ductility - Low electrical conductivity - Good thermal conductivity - High resistance to most acids and bases - Pyrophoric when finely divided - Non-toxicWith Evek GmbH, a trusted supplier, you can conveniently purchase zirconium online.
