Zr Metal Rod Bar Description

Material selection and processing

We use high-purity zirconium materials through high-temperature melting (arc melting/induction furnace melting/electron beam melting), forging, repeated rolling, cold drawing, heat treatment, machining (turning or grinding), surface treatment (pickling and polishing), and finally a comprehensive quality inspection.

Characteristics

Good mechanical and processing properties

It has high strength, good plasticity, fatigue resistance and vibration resistance, and can be made into complex-shaped components through forging, rolling, cutting and other processes.

Excellent corrosion resistance

Zirconium exhibits extremely strong corrosion resistance in a variety of corrosive media (such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, organic acids, and seawater), which is better than stainless steel and titanium alloys.

Stable high-temperature performance

It has a high melting point, is resistant to oxidation, has a low coefficient of thermal expansion (about 5.8×10⁻⁶/℃), and has good dimensional stability when the temperature changes drastically.

Excellent nuclear performance

Zirconium has extremely weak absorption capacity for thermal neutrons and can still maintain good mechanical properties and chemical stability in a strong radiation environment.

Application

Chemical and petroleum industries: Zirconium Rod for Sale is often used to make key components such as nozzles, agitators, pumps and valves in chemical equipment and petroleum refining processes.
Electronics industry: Used to make getters for electric vacuum tubes and lighting bulbs to help improve the vacuum degree and life of the equipment.
Biomedical: Used to make equipment for producing food and medicine, it can effectively prevent the corrosion of chemical substances and ensure the purity and safety of the products.
Nuclear industry: Zirconium Round Bar is mainly used as the control rod structural material of nuclear reactors, and as the cladding of uranium fuel elements to ensure the safety and stability of nuclear reactions.
Aerospace: Used for aviation engine components, such as combustion chamber nozzles, turbine blade coatings, etc., to ensure that important components can operate stably for a long time under extremely high temperature and load environments.
High temperature vacuum equipment: Zirconium Welding Rod is used for heating elements or support structures of electron beam welders and vacuum furnaces to ensure good thermal conductivity and vacuum degree.
