Hafnium Bismuth Alloy

Product Information

Bismuth is a chemical element with the symbol Bi and atomic number 83. It is a post-transition metal and one of the tobacco-causing compounds, chemically similar to its lighter Group 15 brothers arsenic and antimony. The element bismuth occurs naturally, and its sulfide and oxide forms are important commercial ores. The density of this free element is 86% that of lead. It is a fragile metal that is silvery white when freshly produced. Surface oxidation usually gives a rosy color to a metal sample. Due to the interference of the film, further oxidation at high temperatures can give the bismuth a vivid iridescent appearance. Bismuth is the most diamagnetic element and one of the metals known to have the lowest thermal conductivity.

Hafnium-bismuth is one of the many metal alloys sold by ATT. Standard hafnium-bismuth components include HfBi and HfBi2; Others are available upon request. ATT alloy products are available in a variety of forms, such as powder, rod, ingot, strip, line, sheet, sputter target, foil, and custom shapes of standard and customer-specified elements. Our engineers can provide guidance on the selection of alloys according to the intended application. Please request a quote above to receive pricing information according to your specifications.

ATT is a specialized supplier of hafnium bismuth alloys, and we also manufacture discs, balls, ingots, balls, flakes, powders, rods, wires, sputtering targets, and many other forms and custom shapes. Other shapes are available upon request.

Hafnium Bismuth Alloy Properties (Theoretical)

Applications of Hafnium Bismuth Alloy

Hafnium and its alloys are used for control rods in nuclear reactors and nuclear submarines because hafnium is excellent at absorbing neutrons and it has a very high melting point and is corrosion resistant. It is used in high-temperature alloys and ceramics, since some of its compounds are very refractory: they will not melt except under the most extreme temperatures.

Packing of Hafnium Bismuth Alloy

Standard Packing:

Typical bulk packaging includes palletized plastic 5 gallon/25 kg. pails, fiber and steel drums to 1 ton super sacks in full container (FCL) or truck load (T/L) quantities. Research and sample quantities and hygroscopic, oxidizing or other air sensitive materials may be packaged under argon or vacuum. Solutions are packaged in polypropylene, plastic or glass jars up to palletized 440 gallon liquid totes Special package is available on request.

ATTs’Hafnium Bismuth Alloy is carefully handled to minimize damage during storage and transportation and to preserve the quality of our products in their original condition.
