Zirconium wire, offered by Advanced Refractory Metals (ARM), provides versatility for both scientific research and industrial applications. Renowned for its strength, low neutron absorption, and exceptional corrosion resistance, zirconium wire plays a crucial role in nuclear engineering, chemical processing, and aerospace industries, supporting innovative advancements in these fields.
Zirconium wire takes on the look of a silvery metal, as do most zirconium products. With a high melting point of 1855°C (3371°F) and a small neutron adsorption cross-section, zirconium wire is excellent for the nuclear power industry. Zirconium wire is also finding many other uses as people are becoming more familiar with the product.
Advanced Refractory Metals is a leading supplier of zirconium wire and has been providing this high-quality product globally at competitive prices for the last few decades.
