Zirconium Plate/Sheet/Disc 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.
  • Heat Treatment: Anneal to relieve stress and enhance properties.
  • Surface Treatment: Clean and polish the surface.
  • Cutting & Customization: Cut or customize according to requirements.

Zirconium Plate/Sheet/Disc Surface Finish

Depending on the intended applications, zirconium plates, sheets, and discs have three main surface finishes as follows:

  • Black: The surface is “as swaged” or “as drawn”, retaining a coating of processing lubricants and oxides.
  • Cleaned: The surface is chemically cleaned to remove all lubricants and oxides.
  • Ground: The surface is centerless ground to remove all coating and to achieve precise dimensions control.

Zirconium Plate/Sheet/Disc Applications

  • Nuclear Power Industry: Zirconium plates/sheets/discs are used as structural materials for fuel elements in nuclear reactors, especially for the manufacture of fuel cladding in nuclear reactors.
  • Chemical Processing: Due to its excellent corrosion resistance, zirconium plate/sheet/disc is commonly used in the chemical industry for equipment such as reactors, piping, pumps, and valves, especially in environments with corrosive media such as acids, alkalis, and salts.
  • Aerospace: Zirconium plates/sheets/discs are used in the aerospace field, especially in components that need to resist high temperature and pressure, such as rocket nozzles and spacecraft thermal protection systems.
  • Electronic Industry: Zirconium plates/sheets/discs are also used in some electronic devices, such as battery housings and electronic components.
  • Marine Engineering: Zirconium plates/sheets/discs are also widely used in marine engineering, such as offshore platforms, submersibles, and other offshore equipment, due to their seawater corrosion resistance.
  • Metal Smelting and Processing: Zirconium plates/sheets/discs are used in metallurgy and high-temperature processing equipment as tooling materials for use at high temperatures, capable of maintaining strength and stability under high-temperature conditions.

Zirconium Plate/Sheet/Disc Packaging

The Zirconium Plate/Sheet/Disc 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.
