Product Code : ME-Zr-5N-BR
The zirconium (Zr) rod is ideal for use in a nuclear power rod because of its small neutron absorption cross-section and its high melting point of 1855°C (3371°F). This silvery metallic element also leads to better wear resistance and hardness of commercial amorphous metals, more commonly known as metallic glass.

Zirconium Rod Advantages
High melting point
Good corrosion resistance
Low neutron capture ability
Malleable and ductile
Applications of Zirconium Rod & Zirconium Bar
Due to high corrosion resistance, zirconium materials, such as zirconium metal rods, have many uses in medical equipment and to handle other highly corrosive chemicals. Zirconium rods also act as raw materials for other zirconium products, like crucibles and reactors, and can be consumed in zirconium electrodes.
Packaging of Zirconium Rod & Zirconium Bar
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.
