Zirconium is classified as a heavy metal and belongs to the titanium group. It has very high corrosion resistance, good ductility, and is relatively soft. Zirconium is well-suited for rolling, forging, and hammering. It is a poor electrical conductor but a relatively good thermal conductor. Under high temperatures, zirconium reacts with most nonmetals. Owing to passivation, it is stable in air. The metal is resistant to acids. However, it is attacked even at room temperature by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid. Zirconium is insensitive to aqueous bases. In finely divided form, zirconium has pyrophoric properties. It is not toxic and occurs in the body.
In the Evek GmbH online shop, we offer a current zirconium price. We are proud that we can supply you with high-quality products and the best service.
The main application of zirconium is in nuclear power plants. The Zircaloy alloy is used to manufacture cladding for uranium fuel elements. The metal is also used in the construction of chemical plants (valves, pumps, agitators/mixers). As an alloying metal, it increases the corrosion resistance of steel. Corresponding zirconium alloys are also used to make surgical instruments. Because of its smokeless combustion, zirconium is used as a flash powder in fireworks and signal flares.
Zirconium is used:
- in nuclear power plants (cladding for uranium fuel elements);
- in the chemical industry (construction of chemical plants);
- as an alloying metal (steel, surgical instruments);
- as flash powder (fireworks, signal lights);
- for the production of sandpaper and pigments.
Zirconium is characterized by:
- Very high corrosion resistance
- Good ductility and stretchability
- Poor electrical conductivity
- Relatively good thermal conductivity
- Excellent resistance to almost all acids and aqueous bases
- Pyrophoric properties in powder form
- Non-toxic
