Product Introduction: Zirconium Round Tubes for Industry

Zirconium Round Tubes are essential components in many industrial applications due to their unique properties such as excellent corrosion resistance, high melting point, and remarkable strength at elevated temperatures. These characteristics make zirconium tubes ideal for use in harsh environments, including chemical processing, nuclear power plants, and aerospace industries. Zirconium (Zr), with atomic number 40, is a transition metal known for its ability to withstand corrosive substances like hydrochloric and sulfuric acid, making it a reliable material for use in environments where high resistance to corrosion is essential.

Shaanxi Peakrise Metal Co., Ltd. is a leading manufacturer and global supplier of Zirconium Round Tubes for industrial use. With over a decade of experience in non-ferrous metal production and exports, we have established a strong presence in the global market by offering high-quality zirconium tubes that meet international standards. Our advanced production facilities and stringent quality control ensure that every tube we manufacture adheres to the highest standards of performance and reliability. Whether you are in need of standard sizes or customized specifications, Shaanxi Peakrise Metal Co., Ltd. is your trusted partner for industrial zirconium tube solutions.

Product Applications

Chemical Processing: Zirconium round tubes are used in the construction of reactors, heat exchangers, and piping systems due to their high corrosion resistance to strong acids and alkalis.
Nuclear Industry: Zirconium’s low absorption cross-section for thermal neutrons makes it an essential material for nuclear reactors, particularly for fuel cladding and structural components.
Aerospace: The lightweight yet strong properties of zirconium tubes make them suitable for aerospace applications, where weight reduction and high strength are critical.
Medical Devices: Its biocompatibility makes zirconium suitable for medical equipment, including surgical instruments and implants.
Marine Applications: Due to its resistance to seawater corrosion, zirconium tubes are increasingly used in offshore oil and gas platforms and shipbuilding.

Production Process and Manufacturing Flow

Material Selection: High-purity zirconium ore is sourced and refined to ensure the highest quality raw material.
Melting: The zirconium is melted in vacuum arc furnaces to remove impurities and achieve the required material grade.
Tube Forming: The zirconium is drawn through a series of dies to achieve the desired tube size, ensuring accurate dimensions.
Heat Treatment: The tubes are annealed in vacuum furnaces to improve strength and ductility.
Precision Machining: Final machining processes such as cutting, polishing, and surface treatment are applied to meet client specifications.
