Zirconium is one of the heavy metals and is assigned to the titanium group. It has a very high corrosion resistance, good flexibility and is relatively soft. Zirconium is easy to roll, forge and hammer. It's a poor conductor of electricity, but a relatively good conductor of heat. At high temperatures, zirconium reacts with most nonmetals. It is stable in air as a result of passivation. The metal is resistant to acids. However, it is already attacked at room temperature by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid. Zirconium is not sensitive to aqueous bases. In finely divided form, zirconium exhibits pyrophoric properties. It is non-toxic and is found in the body.

In the Evek GmbH online shop we offer a current zirconium price. We pride ourselves on being able to provide you with high quality products and the best service.

The main field of application of zirconium is nuclear power plant. Shells for uranium fuel elements are made from the Zircaloy alloy. The metal is also used in the construction of chemical plants (valves, pumps, stirrers). As an alloying metal, it increases the corrosion resistance of the steel. Surgical instruments are also made from corresponding zirconium alloys. Because of its smokeless combustion, zirconium is used as flashlight powder in fireworks and signal lights.

Zirconium is used:

• in nuclear power plants (shells of uranium fuel elements);
• in chemical industry (construction of chemical plants);
• as an alloy metal (steel, surgical instruments);
• as flashlight powder (fireworks, signal lights);
• as flashlight powder (fireworks, signal lights);
• Manufacture of abrasive paper and pigments.

Zirconium is characterized by:

• very high corrosion resistance;
• good flexibility and extensibility;
• poor electrical conductivity;
• relatively good thermal conductivity;
• excellent resistance to almost all acids and aqueous bases;
• pyrophoric properties in powder form;
• non toxic.
