Hafnium is a corrosion-resistant, heavy metal that exists in two crystalline forms depending on the temperature. Pure hafnium is soft, malleable, and easily rolled or forged. When exposed to air, it naturally forms a thin oxide layer, offering protection against further oxidation. Hafnium is highly resistant to most acids, dissolving only in aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid at room temperature. In powdered form, hafnium is pyrophoric but non-toxic.

At Evek GmbH, you will find hafnium at competitive prices. Our commitment to excellent service ensures your satisfaction and builds a foundation for long-term cooperation.

The primary use of hafnium is in nuclear technology, particularly as control rods in nuclear reactors and reactors for nuclear submarines. Adding just 2% hafnium to tungsten, molybdenum, niobium, or tantalum alloys significantly boosts their strength and heat resistance.

Applications of hafnium include:

• Nuclear technology (nuclear reactors)
• Military sector (nuclear submarine reactors)
• Flash lamps
• As an alloying element with niobium, tantalum, molybdenum, and tungsten

Key properties of hafnium:

• Excellent ductility
• Easy to roll and forge
• Oxidation-resistant in air
• High resistance to most acids
• Pyrophoric in fine powder form
• Non-toxic
