Multiple sizes are available for zirconium bars and we do make customized products.
1. Nuclear Industry: Zirconium Bars are extensively used in nuclear reactors as cladding materials for fuel rods due to their low neutron absorption cross-section. They ensure the integrity of the fuel rods, providing reliable containment for nuclear fuel and preventing radioactive material release.
2. Chemical Processing: Zirconium Bars exhibit outstanding corrosion resistance, making them ideal for use in corrosive chemical environments. They are utilized in chemical processing equipment, such as reactors, vessels, and pipelines, where resistance to acids, alkalis, and other corrosive substances is crucial.
3. Aerospace and Defense: Zirconium Bars are employed in aerospace and defense applications for their high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to extreme temperatures. They are used in components like aircraft engines, missile casings, and structural parts where durability and performance under demanding conditions are paramount.
4. Medical Devices: Zirconium Bars are utilized in medical implants and devices due to their biocompatibility and resistance to corrosion in bodily fluids. They are used in dental implants, prosthetic limbs, and other surgical instruments where long-term reliability and compatibility with the human body are essential.
5. Marine Equipment: Zirconium Bars are favored for marine applications due to their resistance to corrosion in seawater environments. They are used in shipbuilding, offshore platforms, and desalination plants where exposure to saltwater and harsh marine conditions can cause rapid corrosion in conventional materials.
6. Electronics: Zirconium Bars are employed in certain electronic components and devices due to their excellent electrical conductivity and thermal properties. They are used in applications such as electrodes, sensors, and heating elements where efficient electrical and thermal conductivity is required.
Our Zirconium bars are carefully handled to prevent damage during storage and transportation and to preserve the quality of our products in their original condition.
