Zirconium Tube/Pipe
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. Zirconium Tube/Pipe is an important nuclear material, highly suited for nuclear fuel assemblies and in-heap structures in nuclear reactors due to its minimal neutron absorption cross-section and an impressive melting point of 1855 ℃. HM can supply high-quality zirconium tubes and pipes with various specifications for multiple applications.
