Physical and Chemical Properties
Zirconium is known for its outstanding physical and chemical properties that make it ideal for high-performance applications. The key properties of our ASTM Zirconium Metal Rods include:
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Zirconium forms a stable oxide layer on its surface, making it resistant to corrosion, especially in aggressive environments like acids and alkalis.
- High Melting Point: With a melting point of 1855°C, zirconium rods can withstand extreme heat, making them suitable for high-temperature applications.
- Biocompatibility: Zirconium is highly compatible with human tissues, making it a preferred choice for medical devices such as surgical instruments and implants.
- Low Neutron Absorption: This makes zirconium indispensable in the nuclear industry, particularly for reactor components.
Manufacturing Process and Production Flow
Our zirconium rods are manufactured using state-of-the-art equipment and advanced production processes, ensuring precision and quality in every product. The typical process includes:
- Material Selection: High-purity zirconium ore is sourced and refined to meet ASTM standards.
- Melting: The raw zirconium is melted in a vacuum arc furnace to ensure a homogeneous and impurity-free product.
- Forming: The molten zirconium is cast into rods using high-precision molds.
- Heat Treatment: The rods undergo heat treatment to enhance their mechanical properties.
- Surface Finishing: The rods are polished and machined to meet exact customer specifications.
