Zirconium Foil Introduction

Zirconium (Zr) is a silver metal with a density of 6.52 g/cm3. Zr has a very small neutron absorption cross-section and a relatively high melting point (1855 °C or 3371 °F), making zirconium a great material for nuclear power rods. In the 1990s, about 90% of zirconium produced every year is consumed by the nuclear industry.

However, as more and more people get familiar with Zr and its compound, more applications have been found. Zirconium metal and Zirconium alloys have advantages in specialized chemical environments - primarily acetic and hydrochloric acids. The corrosion resistance of Zirconium comes from a tightly adhered oxide that forms almost instantaneously. As a result, zirconium has been used to make electrodes components, foils, flanges bolts, tubes, and rods for special applications. Zirconium products also have wide applications in medical equipment, such as zirconium implants.

As Zirconium Foil (Zr Foil) has better mechanical strength under high temperatures, it is also used as support and structure components for high-temperature applications. Most Zirconium Foils are produced from cast ingots for use in coating and thin film Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) processes.

High-quality Zirconium Foil (Zr Foil) is available at Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM). As a leading supplier and manufacturer of zirconium products across the world, SAM provides customers with a wide variety of Zirconium products like Zirconium Foil at a very competitive price.

Zirconium Foil Applications

• Used to make high-temperature superconductive materials.
• Used to make electrodes components, foils, flanges bolts, tubes and rods for special applications.
• Zirconium alloys are also considered to be promising materials for commercial amorphous metal, also called metallic glass. Compared with common metal materials, amorphous metal has no grain boundaries, leading to better wear resistance and hardness.
• Zirconium foil has wide applications in medical equipment, such as zirconium implants.

Multiple sizes are available for our zirconium foil and we do make customized products.
