Zirconium Metal (Zr)-Powder
Product Description
Zirconium powder (stored in water) is a gray metal powder, easy to burn in the air. It is divided into nuclear grade zirconium powder (stored in water), industrial grade zirconium powder (stored in water) and firearm grade zirconium powder (stored in water) .
Metal zirconium has very strong corrosion resistance, is not easy to be corroded by general acid-base aqueous solutions, is soluble in hydrofluoric acid and aqua regia, and has ultra-high hardness and strength. Zirconium is easy to absorb hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen; zirconium is relatively stable in the air, and powdered zirconium is easy to burn; zirconium has outstanding nuclear energy and is an indispensable material for the development of nuclear energy industry.
Due to dangerous materials, the delivery date cannot be fully guaranteed (maybe extended). Don't hesitate to contact us for details.
Application
Zirconium is resistant to corrosion and is used primarily as a sheath material for fuel rods in nuclear reactors and as an alloy for corrosion resistance.
Zirconium is also used in X-ray diffraction instruments, and when molybdenum is used, zirconium is used to filter out other unwanted frequencies.
In organic chemistry, zirconium is a relatively new metal in the study of organic synthesis methodology in which transition metals are involved. Zirconium can form a five-membered ring or a six-membered ring with carbon, and then be attacked by other groups to leave, thus building the skeleton of organic matter.Many novel compounds can be synthesized using zirconium chemistry.
Zirconium alloys are often used in metal cutting. White zirconium dioxide is the main component of ceramic knives.
