Zirconium is classified as a heavy metal and belongs to the titanium group. It has a very high corrosion resistance, good ductility, and is relatively soft. Zirconium is well rollable, forgeable, and hammerable. It is a poor conductor of electricity but a relatively good conductor of heat. At high temperatures, zirconium reacts with most non-metals. Due to passivation, it is stable in air. The metal is resistant to acids. However, it is attacked by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid even at room temperature. Zirconium is resistant to aqueous bases. In finely divided form, zirconium exhibits pyrophoric properties. It is non-toxic and occurs in the body.

The main application area of zirconium is nuclear power plants. The zirconium alloy is used to make uranium fuel element claddings. The metal is also used in the construction of chemical plants (valves, pumps, agitators). As an alloying metal, it increases the corrosion resistance of steel. Surgical instruments are also made from corresponding zirconium alloys. Due to its smokeless combustion, zirconium is used as flash powder in fireworks and signal lights.

Zirconium is used:

• in nuclear power plants (cladding of uranium fuel elements);
• in the chemical industry (construction of chemical plants);
• as an alloying metal (steel, surgical instruments);
• as flash powder (fireworks, signal lights);
• in the production of sandpaper and pigments.

Zirconium is characterized by:

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