ZR0878 Zirconium Crystal Bar (Zr Crystal Bar)

Zirconium Crystal Bar Description

Zirconium is relatively stable at room temperature and does not readily react with most non-metals. Zirconium is highly resistant to corrosion, especially to acids. This makes zirconium widely used in several chemical environments, for example in the chemical and nuclear industries. Zirconium has a relatively high melting point of about 1855 degrees Celsius. Zirconium has a high absorption capacity for neutrons and is therefore often used in the nuclear industry to make structural materials for nuclear reactors. In addition, zirconium is also biocompatible; it is non-toxic, stable, and exhibits hypo allergenicity to human tissues, making it an excellent choice for biomaterials.

Zirconium Crystal Bar Applications

1. Nuclear industry: Zirconium crystal rods are widely used in the nuclear industry, especially as structural materials in nuclear reactors. This is due to zirconium's high neutron absorption capacity, which makes it excel in nuclear reactions. Zirconium crystal rods are often used in the manufacture of fuel rod shells to encase nuclear fuel.

2. Chemical industry: Due to its high corrosion resistance, zirconium crystal rods are used as materials for reaction vessels, piping and other equipment in several chemical industry applications. It can perform well in strong acid and alkali environments and is suitable for some corrosive substance handling processes.

3. Medical field: Zirconium crystal rods are used in the medical field for the manufacture of some medical devices such as surgical tools and implants. Due to their biocompatibility and corrosion resistance, zirconium rods can be used in devices that interact with human tissue.

4. Optical applications: Zirconium rods are used in the manufacture of optical devices such as laser amplifiers and laser resonant cavities. Zirconium crystals offer good properties for laser optics applications.

5. Electronics: Zirconium crystal rods are used as resistive or connecting materials in some electronic devices. Their high melting point and good conductive properties make them suitable for use in high-temperature electronic devices.

Stanford Advanced Materials also provides 702, 705 Zr metal materials in form of tubes, sheets, rods, wire and customized shapes.
