ZR1429 Zirconium Sponge (Industrial grade)

Descriptions of Zirconium Sponge (Industrial grade)

Zirconium sponge, also known as metallic zirconium, is a silver-gray metal with a steel-like appearance and luster, used in aerospace, military industry, nuclear reaction, etc. Zirconium sponges are produced by injecting gas or mixing a foaming agent into molten metal which creates a froth that is stabilized by a high-temperature foaming agent.

Advanced Refractory Metals is a trusted supplier of industrial grade zirconium sponge. We provide a wide range of zirconium metal products with competitive price and great delivery time.
