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.

Manufacturing Process
Our zirconium alloy wire is produced using a series of precise and advanced steps to ensure top-notch quality:
- Melting: Raw materials are melted in vacuum arc furnaces to remove impurities and achieve a homogeneous alloy.
- Rolling: The ingots are hot-rolled and then cold-rolled to achieve the desired thickness and dimensions.
- Annealing: The wires undergo controlled heat treatment to enhance ductility and reduce internal stresses.
- Drawing: The wires are drawn through precision dies to obtain the final diameter with tight tolerances.
- Quality Control: Each batch undergoes rigorous testing, including chemical composition analysis, tensile testing, and microstructure evaluation.
