0.5mm Purity 99.5% Zirconium Wire On Sale

0.5mm Purity 99.5% Zirconium Wire is a zirconium material that has been further processed. Zirconium metal has excellent nuclear properties due to its small thermal neutron absorption cross section. Nuclear grade zirconium is used as structural material for nuclear powered aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines and civil power reactors, as well as the cladding of uranium fuel elements. Nuclear grade zirconium can be regarded as an important national strategic metal and is closely related to the development of the nuclear industry.

Application of  Purity 99.5% Zirconium Wire

Purity 99.5% Zirconium Wire has excellent corrosion resistance. Good corrosion resistance to most organic acids, inorganic acids, strong bases and some molten salts. Hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and organic acid close to 100℃ have no effect on zirconium. Zirconium has better corrosion resistance in alkali than titanium, tantalum, niobium and stainless steel. Therefore, zirconium is widely used in industrial and chemical industries.
