Zirconium (chemical symbol Zr, atomic number 40) is a silver white transition metal with a melting point of 1852 ℃. It has become a key material in various fields due to its dense zirconia passivation film on the surface and unique nuclear physical properties.
Its core advantages are outstanding: its super strong corrosion resistance allows it to corrode at a rate of less than 0.1mm/year in highly corrosive environments such as hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid, far exceeding stainless steel and titanium alloys; Low neutron absorption cross section (only 0.18 nm) combined with high temperature stability has become the preferred material for nuclear reactor fuel cladding; Simultaneously possessing good biocompatibility and non-magnetic properties, it is suitable for medical implantation and magnetic resonance equipment scenarios.
The product forms include zirconium rods, plates, wires, tubes, and Zr-4 alloy materials, which are widely used in the nuclear industry, chemical equipment, medical devices, aerospace and other fields. It can provide safety support for nuclear reactors and withstand extreme corrosion and high temperature conditions. It is a high-end manufacturing core basic material.
