Zirconium Rod
Description
Zirconium rods usually refer to zirconium alloy rods, which are mainly used as cladding materials for fuel rods. Due to its good corrosion resistance and appropriate neutron absorption characteristics, zirconium is widely used in the chemical industry and medical industry.
Alfa Chemistry is a leading supplier of zirconium rods, including ZR-1, ZR-2 and ZR-3. We offer zirconium rods at competitive prices and with unmatched customer service. We can also customize zirconium rods in various sizes to meet your requirements, serving a wide range of medical and chemical industries.
