Zirconium and Zirconium-based Alloys

Zirconium is a grey-colored metal that is malleable (meaning it can be bent and shaped) and ductile (it can be drawn into wires). It is not a particularly rare element that commonly occurs in ores of zircon and baddeleyite. Zirconium is a fairly inactive element. When exposed to air, it reacts with oxygen to form a thin film of zirconium oxide that protects the metal from further corrosion. Zirconium does not react with most cold acids or with water. It does react with some acids that are very hot, however.

Alfa Chemistry provides high-quality zirconium and zirconium-based alloys at a competitive price. We can also customize various shapes of zirconium products according to your requirements or drawings.

Pure Zirconium Products

Since its high resistance to corrosion by acids, alkalis and seawater, zirconium is extensively used by the chemical industry. For example, zirconium can be used in the production of corrosion-resistant equipment, including pumps, heat exchangers, valve pipes, nozzles, and so on. Zirconium wire can be used to produce a grid plate bracket and cathode holder.

Pure zirconium products we can supply are listed below.

Zirconium-based Alloys

Zirconium-based alloy is a solid solution of zirconium or other metals that have attracted special attention because of their application in various fields such as nuclear cladding materials, biomedical implant materials and shape memory materials.

Zirconium-based alloys we can provide include zirconium-aluminum (Zr-Al) alloys and zirconium-vanadium (Zr-V) alloys.
