Product Parameters

Physical and Chemical Properties

Zirconium alloy wire is characterized by its superior resistance to corrosion in harsh environments, particularly in high-temperature and chemically aggressive conditions. Its low absorption of thermal neutrons makes it ideal for use in nuclear reactors. Additionally, zirconium alloys maintain excellent ductility and strength, even at elevated temperatures.

• Corrosion Resistance: Zirconium alloys are highly resistant to corrosion, especially in acidic and alkaline environments.
• Low Thermal Neutron Absorption: This makes zirconium alloy wires suitable for nuclear applications, where neutron absorption must be minimized.
• High Melting Point: With a melting point of 1855°C, zirconium alloy wires can operate in high-temperature environments without degrading.

Product Functions

​​​​​​​

1. Corrosion Resistance: ASTM zirconium alloy wire offers exceptional resistance to corrosion, making it an essential component in chemical processing equipment and marine applications.
2. High Strength and Durability: Despite its lightweight nature, zirconium alloy wires offer high tensile strength and toughness, ensuring durability in demanding applications.
3. Excellent Weldability: The wire's superior weldability allows it to be used in high-performance welding and fabrication processes, particularly in the aerospace and nuclear sectors.
4. Low Neutron Absorption: Zirconium's low neutron absorption properties make it ideal for use in nuclear reactors, enhancing the efficiency and safety of reactor components.

1. Nuclear Industry: Due to its low neutron absorption and high corrosion resistance, zirconium alloy wire is used in fuel cladding, structural components, and other critical parts in nuclear reactors.
2. Aerospace: Zirconium alloy wire's strength and resistance to high temperatures make it ideal for aerospace applications, such as in jet engines and other high-performance systems.
3. Chemical Processing: In the chemical industry, zirconium alloy wire is used in environments where extreme corrosion resistance is required, such as in piping systems, valves, and heat exchangers.
4. Medical Devices: The biocompatibility and durability of zirconium alloys allow them to be used in medical implants and surgical instruments.
5. Welding Applications: Due to its excellent weldability, zirconium alloy wire is used in precision welding applications, especially where corrosion resistance is crucial.

Manufacturing Process

​​​​​​​

Our zirconium alloy wire is produced using a series of precise and advanced steps to ensure top-notch quality:

1. Melting: Raw materials are melted in vacuum arc furnaces to remove impurities and achieve a homogeneous alloy.
2. Rolling: The ingots are hot-rolled and then cold-rolled to achieve the desired thickness and dimensions.
3. Annealing: The wires undergo controlled heat treatment to enhance ductility and reduce internal stresses.
4. Drawing: The wires are drawn through precision dies to obtain the final diameter with tight tolerances.
5. Quality Control: Each batch undergoes rigorous testing, including chemical composition analysis, tensile testing, and microstructure evaluation.
