Zirconium Sheet Metal

Zirconium is a highly corrosion resistant metal that is us used for many products.

Zirconium sheet metal.

Zirconium zr is a silver metal with a density of 6 52 g cm3. Zirconium metal has a melting point of 1855 degrees c or 3371 degrees f. Zr has a very small neutron absorption cross section and a relatively high melting point 1855 c or 3371 f making zirconium a great material for nuclear power rods. Zirconium is a very strong malleable ductile lustrous silver gray metal similar to hafnium and titanium.

Our team will cut a custom length to fit your tray tank liner gasket or other application. Zirconium is a high corrosion resistant metal that is us used for many products. Zirconium ideal for specialized chemical environments primarily acetic and hydrochloric acids zirconium and its alloys provide extreme corrosion resistance. Description of zirconium sheet zirconium zr is a silver metal with a density of 6 52 g cm3.

Zirconium was discovered by martin heinrich klaproth in 1789 and first isolated by jöns jakob berzelius in 1824. Because it performs well in superheated water and it s transparent to thermal neutrons zirconium has been used since the 1950s as cladding for nuclear fuels. Available in zirconium grade 702 and titanium grades 2 and 7 sheet sizes range from 028 to 125 in thickness. Your source for metal goods.

It is flammable in powder form and highly resistant to corrosion and heat. The zirconium atom has a radius of 160 pm and a van der waals radius of 186 pm. In the 1990s about 90 of zirconium produced every year is consumed by the nuclear industry. Zr has a very small neutron adsorption cross section and relatively high melting point 1855 c or 3371 f making zirconium a great material for nuclear power rods.

Zirconium and titanium sheet united titanium has a large selection of sheet metal in its inventory. Some include pumps valves nuclear applications chemical processing reactor vessels heat exchangers and more. Zirconium 702 is commercially pure and is typically used in valves nuclear applications pumps reactor vessels heat exchangers chemical processing.
