Zirconium parts have a variety of excellent characteristics, such as high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, radiation resistance, good plasticity, etc., so its application field is wide, mainly including the following aspects:
1. Nuclear industry:
• Nuclear fuel element cladding: zirconium alloy has a small neutron absorption cross section and good radiation resistance and thermal stability, so it is often used as a nuclear fuel element cladding material for nuclear aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, civil power reactors, etc., which can effectively protect nuclear fuel and prevent radioactive material leakage.
• Reactor structural materials: Inside nuclear reactors, zirconium parts can be used to manufacture various structural components, such as reactor brackets, pipes, valves, etc., which need to operate stably in high temperature, high pressure, and strong radiation environment for a long time, and the performance of zirconium alloy can meet these stringent requirements.
2. Chemical industry:
• Corrosion resistant containers and pipes: Zirconium is resistant to corrosion in organic acids, but not in hydrofluoric acid, concentrated sulfuric acid, concentrated phosphoric acid, aqua Regis, bromic water, hydrobromic acid, fluorosilicic acid, calcium hypochlorite, fluoborate.However, for many other common chemicals, zirconium has excellent corrosion resistance, so it can be used to manufacture reaction vessels, storage tanks, pipelines and other equipment required in the chemical production process, which can withstand the erosion of various corrosive media to ensure the safety and stability of chemical production.
• Catalyst: Some zirconium-containing compounds can be used as catalysts or catalyst carriers to participate in chemical reactions and improve the efficiency and selectivity of reactions.For example, zirconium based catalysts play an important role in some organic synthesis reactions and petrochemical processes.
3. Aerospace field:
• Engine components: Aerospace engines will produce high temperature, high pressure and strong vibration during operation, which requires extremely high material performance.Due to its high temperature resistance, high strength and good creep resistance, zirconium alloy can be used to manufacture engine blades, turbine discs, combustion chambers and other key components, which can maintain stable performance under harsh working conditions and improve the reliability and service life of the engine.
Fuselage structure: In the fuselage structure of the aircraft, zirconium parts also have certain applications, such as some key parts of the connection, support parts, etc., can reduce the weight of the aircraft, while improving the strength and stiffness of the structure.
4. Electronics industry:
• Electronic components: zirconium oxides (such as zirconium dioxide) have high resistivity, high dielectric constant and other characteristics, can be used to manufacture capacitors, resistors, sensors and other electronic components, to meet the needs of electronic equipment for high-performance electronic components.
• Semiconductor manufacturing: In the semiconductor manufacturing process, zirconium can be used as a dopant or used to manufacture semiconductor equipment components, such as fixture in wafer processing, reaction chamber lining, etc., to ensure the precision and purity of semiconductor manufacturing.
5. Medical field:
• Medical devices: Zirconium has good biocompatibility and corrosion resistance, and can be used to manufacture medical devices such as artificial joints, dental implants, and surgical instruments.For example, artificial joints made of zirconium-based ceramic materials have a hardness and elastic modulus similar to human bone, which can reduce irritation and wear on surrounding tissues and improve patients' quality of life.
Medical imaging equipment: In medical imaging equipment, zirconium parts are also used, such as rotating anode targets in X-ray equipment, to produce high-quality X-rays and provide accurate image information for medical diagnosis.
6. Military industry:
• Weapon and equipment components: Zirconium alloy can be used to manufacture gun barrels, missile shells, ammunition fuzes and other weapon and equipment components, which can improve the performance and reliability of weapons.For example, zirconium powder can be used as a burning agent in firearms, and is also suitable for alloy additives and metallurgical deoxidizing agents.
• Protective equipment: In protective equipment such as body armor and helmets, zirconium materials can be used as reinforcement materials to improve the impact resistance and protection capability of protective equipment.
7. Daily necessities:
• Cutting tool: Zirconia ceramic cutting tool is a common zirconium products, with high hardness, good sharpness, wear resistance and other advantages, suitable for cutting a variety of ingredients, and will not chemically react with food, to maintain the original taste of food.
• Decoration: Due to its colorful color, zirconium has been regarded as a gem since ancient times and plays a decorative role in human life.Processed zircon can be made into a variety of jewelry, such as necklaces, bracelets, rings and so on.
