Product Introduction

Zirconium rods

Zirconium is a strong corrosion resistance metal, widely used in chemical corrosion resistant equipment, its acid resistance to titanium and all kinds of steel, close to tantalum.

Zirconium has excellent corrosion resistance in hydrochloric acid at all concentrations and temperatures up to the boiling point, and is not prone to slot corrosion, point corrosion and stress corrosion.

Zirconium can withstand boiling point in sulfuric acid, and above the boiling point, the concentration can reach 70%. The corrosion resistance in sodium hydroxide medium is the same as that of nickel.

Zirconium can resist some highly corrosive environments including various inorganic acids (hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, etc.), alkali, most organic acids (such as hydrochloric acid, formic acid, etc.), various salt solutions and molten alkali reaction.

the uses of Zirconium rods

1. Nuclear fuel rod cladding: Zirconium alloys, including Zr-702, are commonly used as a cladding material for fuel rods in nuclear power plants due to their good corrosion resistance, high strength, and low thermal expansion.

2. Chemical processing equipment: Zirconium alloys, including Zr-702, are used in various chemical processing applications, such as reactors, tanks, heat exchangers, and piping, due to their excellent corrosion resistance in aggressive environments.

3. Aerospace industry: Zr-702 is used in the aerospace industry for applications such as rocket nozzles, heat shields, and high-temperature structural components, due to its high strength, high melting point, and good thermal stability.

4. Medical implants: Zirconium alloys, including Zr-702, are used in the production of medical implants such as hip and knee replacements due to their excellent biocompatibility, high strength, and corrosion resistance.

5. Offshore drilling equipment: Zirconium alloys, including Zr-702, are used in offshore drilling equipment such as wellheads, casings, and valves due to their excellent corrosion resistance in seawater and high mechanical strength.

6. Nuclear waste storage containers: Zirconium alloys, including Zr-702, are used in the construction of nuclear waste storage containers due to their resistance to corrosion and radiation damage.

7. Automotive industry: Zr-702 is used in the automotive industry for applications such as exhaust systems and catalytic converters due to its high-temperature resistance and good corrosion resistance.
