Zirconium is a heavy metal belonging to the titanium group, known for its exceptional corrosion resistance, good flexibility, and relatively soft texture. This metal is easy to roll, forge, and hammer. While it conducts heat well, it is a poor conductor of electricity. Zirconium is stable in air due to its passivation layer and resists most acids, though it can be affected by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid at room temperature. It is not sensitive to aqueous bases and, in powdered form, is pyrophoric. Zirconium is non-toxic and naturally present in the human body.

Zirconium is widely used in nuclear power plants, where it is made into shells for uranium fuel rods using the Zircaloy alloy. It also finds applications in the chemical industry for equipment such as valves, pumps, and stirrers, and is used to improve the corrosion resistance of steel as an alloying element. Additionally, zirconium alloys are used in surgical instruments. Thanks to its smokeless combustion, zirconium serves as a component in flashlight powders for fireworks and signal flares.

Typical uses of zirconium include:

• Nuclear power plants (uranium fuel rod cladding)
• Chemical industry (equipment manufacturing)
• Alloying metal for steel and surgical tools
• Flashlight powder for fireworks and signal lights
• Production of abrasive papers and pigments

Key properties of zirconium:

• Outstanding corrosion resistance
• Good flexibility and ductility
• Poor electrical conductivity
• Good thermal conductivity
• Excellent stability against most acids and aqueous bases
• Pyrophoric in powder form
• Non-toxic
