Baoji Fairy Titanium Industry Co., Ltd. is one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of astm b493 astmb550 r60702 pure zirconium rod in China. Welcome to wholesale bulk high quality customized products made in China here from our factory. Good service and low price are available.
1. Pure Zirconium rod is very suitable for nuclear power rods because of its small neutron absorption cross-section and melting point of 1855 ° C (3371 ° f). This silver metallic element can also improve the wear resistance and hardness of commercial amorphous metals (commonly known as metallic glass).
2. Zirconium rods size and standards
OD: 6.0~200mm
Length: 100~4000mm or customed length
Standards: ASTM B550
3. Features of Zirconium
Zirconium is a lively metal with a high affinity for oxygen, which leads to the formation of a protective oxide film in the air at room temperature. This protective oxide film gives zirconium and its alloys excellent corrosion resistance. Zirconium has outstanding corrosion resistance, strong resistance to a variety of corrosive media, good mechanical and heat transfer performance, and significant cost advantages, making it an excellent corrosion-resistant structural material in the field of the petrochemical industry.

5. What is the application of a pure zirconium rod?
Zirconium has a wide range of applications, with metal zirconium accounting for only about 3% ~ to 4%. It is mainly used in ceramics, refractories, and other fields in the form of zirconium silicate and zirconia, which accounts for more than 90% of zirconium consumption. In addition, because zirconium has excellent nuclear properties, its thermal neutron absorption cross-section is small, only 0.18 × 10-28. A significant application of zirconium and zirconium alloys is as fuel packing materials and other structural materials for nuclear power reactors. Therefore, the research and development of zirconium and zirconium alloys are closely related to the development of the nuclear industry. It was first used in nuclear-powered ships, and then vigorously developed into atomic power stations.
