Overview of Zirconium products

Zirconium is a rare metal with amazing corrosion resistance, extremely high melting point, ultra-high hardness and strength. Zirconium can be classified into nuclear grade Zirconium and industrial grade Zirconium.

Nuclear grade Zirconium
It is mainly used as structural material for nuclear powered aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines and civilian power generation reactors, as well as the cladding of uranium fuel elements. It is an important strategic metal.

Industrial grade Zirconium
Industrial grade Zirconium has wide applications in the chemical industry, military industry and electronic industry. It is mainly used to manufacture acid and alkali resistant equipment, pipeline and valve material, special high strength and superalloy material, electric vacuum and getter for light bulbs manufacturing.
