Application of zirconium plate, zirconium welding wire, zirconium rod and zirconium metal materials
Zirconium plate, zirconium welding wire, zirconium rod, zirconium metal
Zirconium is an important material in the nuclear industry because of its low neutron absorption cross section, excellent corrosion resistance and machining properties. The main zirconium producing countries produce atomic zirconium metal mostly used in nuclear reactors.
In addition to nuclear-powered submarines and aircraft carriers, 440 civil nuclear power plants have been built and are in operation around the world. The world's zirconium production capacity is about 7,000 T /a, and the annual amount used in the nuclear industry is about 3,000 T. And hafnium containing industrial grade metal zirconium is used in metallurgy, chemical industry, machinery and weapons industry, the annual dosage is about 2000t. Metal feed factor
It can be used as control rod of atomic reactor because of its high absorption cross section. It can also be made into alloys for spacecraft and other high temperature resistant parts.
| Application field | Main use |
| Atomic energy industry | Fuel jacket material: mainly zirconium tin, zirconium niobium two types of alloy; Structural materials: Zirconium alloy is mainly used as high pressure resistant components in reactors, such as vessels, pipes, etc. Nuclear fuel: used as an alloying element of uranium to increase the heat exchange surface and structural strength of heat-releasing elements; Decelerating material: hydrogenated Hao can be used as moderator to slow down the fission rate; Control materials: Control rods made from metal tables are used to control nuclear reactions. Zirconium diboride can also be used as strength control materials |
| Metallurgical industry | Iron and steel metallurgy additives: used in iron and steel metallurgy as degassing agent, grain refiner, such as iron zirconium, silicon zirconium, calcium zirconium silicon, silicon zirconium manganese, etc. : non-ferrous metal gold additives: improve and improve the performance of copper, nickel, magnesium, zinc, aluminum zirconium metal, and used in fireworks materials. |
| Petrochemical industry | Petrochemical equipment component materials: improve equipment life, reduce product cost |
| Ping-pong and ammunition industry | Addition of weapon component materials and ammunition: improve the life of barrel barrel, increase the initiation speed and explosive power. |
| Electrical and electronic industries | Vacuum tubes, lamps, degassing agents and device component materials: improve the thermal emission performance and current of vacuum tubes. Zirconium wire Zirconium sheet and zirconium foil can be used as gate electrode material and flash lamp |
| Aerospace industry | Alloying elements: To enhance and improve the performance of space aircraft components. |
| Biomedical industry | Biological material: Zirconium metal has good biocompatibility with the human body. It can be used as surgical and dental instruments, screws for neurosurgery, head cover plate, etc. |
