Zirconium bar processing and performance introduction

Zirconium bar processing and performance introduction

zirconium rod belongs to the passivating metal, the standard electrode of the zirconium rod is -1.539V, and has a strong affinity. It can react with the oxygen in the air at room temperature to form dense oxide film with high adhesion. The oxide film protects the base metal from chemical or mechanical damage.

Zirconium rods are resistant to corrosion in a variety of highly corrosive environments, including various inorganic acids, bases, most organic acids, various salt solutions and molten bases, but there is a major precaution that zirconium rods must have during processing , It is non-toxic, but because of its exothermic reaction with the oxidizing element, the zirconium rod is susceptible to fire.

zirconium rod has been widely used in petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical, fertilizer, metallurgy, shipbuilding and other industrial fire.
