Zirconium Hydride (ZrH2)-Powder
Product Description
Characteristic
Zirconium hydride describes an alloy made by combining zirconium and hydrogen. Hydrogen acts as a hardening agent, preventing dislocations in the zirconium atom crystal lattice from sliding past one another. Varying the amount of hydrogen and the form of its presence in the zirconium hydride (precipitated phase) controls qualities such as the hardness, ductility, and tensile strength of the resulting zirconium hydride. Zirconium hydride with increased hydrogen content can be made harder and stronger than zirconium, but such zirconium hydride is also less ductile than zirconium.
Due to dangerous materials, the delivery date cannot be fully guaranteed (maybe extended). Don't hesitate to contact us for details.
Application
Zirconium hydride is used in industry as a firework, flux, and igniter, as a moderator in nuclear reactors, as an getter in vacuum tubes, and in metal-ceramic seals.
Titanium hydride and zirconium hydride are already produced and supplied by the ton industry, but are mainly used for military purposes.
