Zirconium (Zr) Micron Powder

Purity: 99.9 %, Size: 325 mesh 

Zirconium (Zr) Micron Powder is a high-purity transition metal recognized for its exceptional resilience in chemically aggressive environments and its specialized role in high-tech energy sectors. Characterized by a stable crystalline arrangement, this powder is a premier choice for nuclear engineering due to its nearly transparent nature to thermal neutrons, which ensures optimal efficiency in fuel cladding. Beyond its nuclear properties, the material exhibits a remarkable ability to form a protective oxide layer, providing extreme resistance to corrosion from acids, alkalis, and salt water. Its high-temperature stability and significant surface toughness make it a versatile reinforcement agent for advanced metallurgy, while its inherent biocompatibility facilitates its use in precision medical devices and long-lasting prosthetics. Designed for demanding industrial cycles, this micronized powder combines mechanical toughness with reliable thermal performance for the most rigorous aerospace and chemical processing applications.

Technical Properties

Applications

• Nuclear Energy Sector: Critically used in the fabrication of fuel rod cladding and reactor internal components because it does not interfere with neutron flow, maintaining the integrity of the fission process.
• Aerospace Engineering: Integrated into high-performance alloys for turbine blades and airframe components that must withstand corrosive atmospheres and high-velocity thermal stress.
• Advanced Metallurgy: Acts as a grain refiner in magnesium and aluminum alloys to improve tensile strength and resistance to thermal fatigue in automotive and industrial engines.
• Biomedical Devices: Employed in the production of orthopedic implants and dental tools due to its non-toxic properties and excellent integration with human bone tissue.
• Chemical Processing: Used to manufacture corrosion-resistant valves, heat exchangers, and piping systems that handle highly reactive chemical substances.
• Abrasive Materials: Utilized as a hardening component in high-strength grinding wheels and precision cutting tools for industrial surface finishing.
• Pyrotechnics and Specialized Igniters: Leveraged in controlled combustion systems and military-grade igniters due to its high reactivity and reliable ignition profile when finely divided.
