Zirconium Bar Metal

Zirconium rod is a metal with physicochemical properties similar to those of titanium. Zirconium Bar Metal is strong, ductile and malleable. It resists corrosion and heat effectively. It is insoluble in acids and bases. Zirconia is the most useful type of zirconium. It has a high melting point and low thermal conductivity.

702 grade zirconium round rods are made from commercially pure titanium with over 99% zirconium content

We use the best grade materials and manufacture all our zirconium round rods in our units with the help of our best condition technology.

 

Corrosive and reactive reagents do not damage the oxide layer, so zirconium rods remain intact

Excellent durability; corrosion resistance; easy processing.

where is zirconium used:
* For the manufacture of high temperature superconducting materials.
* For the manufacture of electrode assemblies, foils, flange bolts, tubes and rods for special applications.
* For applications in medical devices, such as zirconium implants.
* Used as a raw material for reactors and crucibles.

zirconium discovery：

In 1789, the German M.H. Klaproth studied zircon and found that it was eutectic with sodium hydroxide, dissolved the coolant with hydrochloric acid, added potassium carbonate to the solution, precipitated, filtered and washed the precipitate, then the precipitate was co-boiled with sulfuric acid, then filtered to remove the oxides of silicon, and the oxides of calcium, magnesium and aluminum were not found in the filtrate, and the precipitate appeared after the addition of potassium carbonate to the solution. This precipitate is not soluble in alkali like alumina, nor does it act with acid like the oxides of magnesium, Klaproth believes that this precipitate is different from all previously known oxides, and is composed of Zirkonerde (zirconium earth, German), soon, the French chemist de Morueau and Vauquelin both confirmed that M.H. Klaproth's The analysis was correct, and the Latin name of the element was Zirconium, the symbol considered Zr, which was translated as zirconium in China.

In 1808, H. Davy of England used electric current to decompose zirconium compounds without success, and in 1824 J. J. Berzelius of Sweden first pictured

Zirconium

The reaction formula was K 2ZrF 6+4K=Zr+6KF, and Na was also used as reducing agent until 1914, when Lely and Ham bruger, two researchers from a Dutch manufacturer of metal white heat lamps, used anhydrous zirconium tetrachloride and excess sodium metal in an empty ball and heated it to 500°C using electric current. The pure zirconium metal was obtained by heating the ball with an electric current for 500 °C.

does zirconium rust?

The corrosion rate of zirconium was less than 5 mpy at all concentrations and temperatures well above the boiling point, and even at 37% HCI, zirconium did not corrode significantly until reaching 130°C.

does zirconium conduct electricity?

Zirconium conducts electricity but at a very low conductivity

industrial zirconium benefits:

Zirconium is a highly corrosion resistant metal and is widely used in chemical corrosion resistant equipment. It is more acid resistant than titanium and various steels and is close to tantalum. Zirconium bar metal has excellent corrosion resistance in all concentrations and temperatures up to above boiling point hydrochloric acid and is less susceptible to crevice, pitting and stress corrosion.

Zirconium alloy is resistant to point boiling point in sulfuric acid and above boiling point at concentrations up to 70%. Zirconium is resistant to certain highly corrosive environments including various inorganic acids (hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, etc.), bases, most organic acids (such as hydrochloric acid, formic acid, etc.) various salt solutions and molten bases. The corrosion resistance in sodium hydroxide media is the same as that of nickel.
