Zirconium Introduction

Zirconium is a silvery-white metal with a density of 6.52 g/cm³, known for its exceptional corrosion resistance and high-temperature strength. Zirconium has a high melting point and maintains its mechanical properties in extreme conditions. Initially, 90% of zirconium production was used in the nuclear industry, but zirconium has since been adopted in aerospace, medical, and chemical applications.

Zirconium Products

Zirconium is available in various forms, including zirconium rods, zirconium plates, zirconium tubes, zirconium foils, and zirconium wires. Other zirconium-based products include zirconium fasteners, zirconium crucibles, zirconium mesh, zirconium sheets, and zirconium sputtering targets. Zirconium can also be custom-fabricated to meet specific industrial needs. Additionally, zircon (ZrSiO?), a zirconium-based mineral, is widely used in ceramics, refractories, and gemstones.

Zirconium Properties

• Zirconium's Corrosion Resistance: Offers superior durability in aggressive environments.
• Zirconium’s High-Temperature Strength: Withstands extreme heat while maintaining structural integrity.
• Zirconium’s Biocompatibility: Safe for medical implants and dental applications.
• Zirconium’s Low Neutron Absorption: Essential for nuclear reactor fuel cladding.

Zirconium Applications

• Zirconium in the Nuclear Industry: Used in fuel rod cladding due to its low neutron-capture cross-section and corrosion resistance.
• Zirconium in Aerospace & Defense: A key material in lightweight, high-strength alloys for aircraft and missile systems.
• Zirconium in Chemical Processing: Essential for reaction vessels, heat exchangers, and pipelines exposed to corrosive substances.
• Zirconium in Medical Implants: Applied in joint replacements and dental devices due to its biocompatibility and wear resistance.
