Zirconium Sheet (Zr Sheet) Description

Zirconium (Zr) is a silver metal with a density of 6.52 g/cm3. Zr has a very small neutron absorption cross-section and relatively high melting point (1855 °C or 3371 °F), making zirconium a great material for nuclear power rods. In the 1990s, about 90% of zirconium produced every year is consumed by the nuclear industry. However, as more and more people get familiar with Zr and its compound, more applications have been found. Zirconium metal and Zirconium alloys have advantages in specialized chemical environments - primarily acetic and hydrochloric acids. The corrosion resistance of Zirconium comes from a tightly adhered oxide that forms almost instantaneously.

As a result, zirconium has been used to make electrode components, foils, flanges bolts, tubes and rods for special applications. Zirconium sheets have wide applications in medical equipment. As Zirconium sheets have better mechanical strength under high temperature, it is also used as support and structure components for high-temperature applications.

Zirconium Sheet (Zr Sheet) Applications

1. Aerospace Industry: Used in aircraft structural components, such as wings and fuselage panels, due to its lightweight nature, high strength, and corrosion resistance.

2. Chemical Processing: Employed in equipment and machinery for handling corrosive chemicals and high-temperature environments, including vessels, tanks, and heat exchangers.

3. Medical Implants: Utilized in orthopedic and dental implants due to zirconium's biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and low allergenic potential, ensuring compatibility with the human body.

4. Nuclear Industry: Applied in nuclear reactor components, such as pressure tubes and fuel cladding, due to zirconium's low neutron absorption cross-section and excellent corrosion resistance in high-radiation environments.

5. Electronics: Utilized in electronic devices for various applications, including as substrates for semiconductor manufacturing and protective coatings for electronic components.
