R60702 R60705 Zirconium Metal Alloy Rod Bar

The zirconium alloy is a solid solution of zirconium or other metals. Zirconium has a very low thermal neutron absorption cross section, high hardness, ductility and corrosion resistance. The main use of Zirconium Alloys is in the field of nuclear

technology, such as fuel rods in nuclear reactors. Typical compositions of nuclear grade zirconium alloys are more than 95% zirconium and less than 2% tin, antimony, iron, chromium, nickel and other metals added to improve mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.

Zirconium alloy has good corrosion resistance, moderate mechanical properties and low atomic thermal neutron absorption cross section (Zirconium is 0.18 target) in high temperature and high pressure water and steam at 300-400 °C. It has good compatibility with nuclear fuel. It can be used as a core structural material for water-cooled nuclear reactors (fuel cladding, pressure pipes, supports and tunnel pipes), which is the main use of zirconium alloys. Zirconium has excellent corrosion resistance to various acids (such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and acetic acid), alkalis, and salts, so zirconium alloys are also used to make corrosion resistant parts and pharmaceutical devices. Zirconium has a strong affinity with gases such as oxygen and nitrogen, so zirconium and zirconium alloys are also widely used as non-evaporable getters in the electric vacuum and bulb industries (see getter materials). Zirconium has excellent luminescent properties and is therefore a flash and pyrotechnic material.
