Zirconium is a lustrous, grayish-white metal that belongs to the transition metals group.
Zirconium plates are flat sheets or strips made from high-purity zirconium metal. Zirconium plates have excellent corrosion resistance, high-temperature resistance, wear resistance, and oxidation resistance.
The manufacturing process of Zirconium plate mainly includes melting, rolling, cutting and other steps. Smelting is the process of refining Zirconium ore into high-purity Zirconium metal; Rolling is to roll the melted Zirconium metal into a plate by a rolling mill; Cutting is to cut the rolled Zirconium plate according to the required size.
They are commonly used in various industries such as aerospace, chemical processing, medical, and nuclear applications. Some common uses of Zirconium plates include:
1. Nuclear reactors: Zirconium is highly resistant to corrosion, making it an ideal material for use in nuclear reactors. It is used in the form of zirconium plates to manufacture fuel rods and other components.
2. Chemical processing: Zirconium plates are used in the construction of equipment and vessels that handle corrosive chemicals. Zirconium's resistance to corrosion makes it suitable for applications where materials like stainless steel may fail.
3. Medical implants: Zirconium plates can be used in the manufacture of medical implants such as hip replacements and dental implants. The biocompatibility of zirconium makes it an ideal material for such applications.
4. Aerospace industry: Zirconium plates are used in the aerospace industry where lightweight and high-strength materials are required. It is used in the construction of aircraft components like heat exchangers, fuel cells, and structural parts.
5. Heat exchangers: Zirconium plates are used in heat exchangers due to their excellent heat transfer properties. Zirconium's high thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance make it ideal for applications where heat transfer is required.
Zirconium plates can be easily machined and welded, making them versatile and easy to work with. They are available in various sizes and thicknesses to suit different applications.
(1) Strong corrosion resistance: Zirconium plate has good corrosion resistance and can be used in various corrosive environments.
(2) Good high-temperature performance: Zirconium plate has good high-temperature performance and can withstand oxidation and corrosion in high-temperature environments.
(3) Good wear resistance: Zirconium plate has good wear resistance and can be used in various wear environments.
(4) Strong oxidation resistance: Zirconium plate has good oxidation resistance and can be used in an oxidation environment for a long time.
