Zirconium Rod And Bar

Zirconium (Zr) is an exceptionally corrosion-resistant metal, offering superior acid corrosion resistance compared to titanium and various steels, and is close to tantalum in performance. It demonstrates excellent resistance to hydrochloric acid at all concentrations and temperatures, even above its boiling point, and is highly resistant to crevice corrosion, pitting, and stress corrosion. It is highly suited for use in nuclear power rods due to its minimal neutron absorption cross-section and an impressive melting point of 1855 ℃. HM can supply high-quality zirconium rods and bars with various specifications for multiple applications.

Zirconium Rod/Bar Production Process

  • Raw Material: Select high-purity zirconium powder.
  • Powder Metallurgy: Mix with binder and compact into a green billet.
  • Sintering: High-temperature sintering to remove the binder and increase density.
  • Drawing: Draw the rod to achieve the desired size and finish.
  • Heat Treatment: Anneal to relieve stress and enhance properties.
  • Surface Treatment: Clean and polish the surface.
  • Cutting & Customization: Cut or customize according to requirements.

  • Sintering
  • Forging
  • Rotary Forging
  • Rolling
  • Polishing

Zirconium Rod/Bar Applications

  • Nuclear Energy Industry: zirconium rod material can be used to produce reactor control rods.
  • Chemical Industry: zirconium rods can be used to make corrosion-resistant pipes and equipment, especially in highly corrosive environments, such as sulfuric acid, hydrogen fluoride, and other acidic media.
  • Aerospace: zirconium rods are often used for components in high-temperature environments, such as high-temperature parts of engines.
  • Electronics Industry: zirconium has good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, so it is used in the electronics industry as electrode materials in some special environments and to manufacture some special electronic components.

Zirconium Rod/Bar Packaging

The Zirconium Rod/Bar is carefully placed in wooden cases or cartons with additional support from soft materials to prevent any shifting during transportation. This packaging method guarantees the integrity of the products throughout the delivery process.
