Zirconium Ingot

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. Zirconium Ingots are made from high-purity zirconium metal or alloys, featuring a high melting point, excellent corrosion resistance, and near transparency to thermal neutrons. HM offers high-quality zirconium ingots with various specifications to suit a wide range of applications.

Zirconium Ingot Applications

  • Nuclear Energy: Zirconium has good neutron transmittance and high-temperature resistance. Zirconium ingots are commonly used to manufacture fuel assemblies for nuclear reactors, such as the casing material for nuclear fuel rods. These can effectively encapsulate nuclear fuels such as uranium or plutonium.
  • Aerospace: Zirconium ingots are commonly used in high-temperature components such as combustion chambers, nozzles, and turbine blades for aero-engines, jet engines, and rocket engines due to their high-temperature resistance and high strength.
  • Electronics and Electrical Industry: Zirconium ingots are commonly used to manufacture the housings of certain electronic devices, which can effectively protect the internal components from environmental factors.
  • High-temperature Alloys and Materials: Zirconium ingots are also commonly used to manufacture various high-temperature alloys for environments requiring high temperatures, high strength, and corrosion resistance.

Zirconium Ingot Packaging

The Zirconium Ingot 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.
