Zirconium

Metallic zirconium, also known as zirconium sponge, is a silver-gray metal with a lustrous steel-like appearance.

1.   Zirconium has a strong affinity for oxygen, 1000 degrees oxygen dissolved in zirconium can make its volume increase significantly.
2.  Zirconium has more than stainless steel, nickel-based alloys and more excellent corrosion resistance, mechanical properties and process performance, very suitable for the manufacture of containers and heat exchangers and other chemical equipment.
3.  Zirconium plasticity is good, easy to process into plate, wire and so on. Zirconium can absorb oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and other gases when heated, and can be used as hydrogen storage materials.
4.  Zirconium is a corrosion-resistant metal, widely used in chemical corrosion-resistant equipment.
5.  Zirconium in sulfuric acid can withstand the boiling point, and higher than the boiling point, the concentration can reach 70%.
