Exploring the Advantages and Versatility of Zirconium 702 Plate

May 27 , 2024

Zirconium is a rare silver-gray metal with very high corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. Due to its excellent properties, zirconium has a wide range of applications in many fields. Zirconium 702 plate is a high-performance metallic material that is widely used in the nuclear industry, aerospace, chemical industry, medical care, and other fields due to its unique physical and chemical properties.


Corrosion Resistance and High-Temperature Performance


Zirconium 702 plate from Aulister, one of the leading zirconium plate suppliers, has excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature properties. It maintains high strength and stiffness at high temperatures and has good resistance to various acids, alkalis, salts, and other chemical media. Therefore, it is widely used in chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical, and other fields in the reactor, pipeline, valve, and other equipment.


Neutron Shielding Performance and Low Thermal Conductivity


Zirconium 702 plate also has good neutron shielding properties and low thermal conductivity. In the nuclear industry, it is used in the manufacture of critical components such as cladding tubes and fuel element skeletons for nuclear reactors. These components are subjected to extreme environments of high temperature, high pressure, and high radiation. Zr702 plate is able to effectively shield against neutron radiation to ensure the safe operation of nuclear reactors.


Areas of Application


  • Zirconium is used in a wide range of applications in the chemical industry. It can be used to manufacture various chemical reactors, heat exchangers, piping systems, etc. It can withstand the erosion of various corrosive media. It can be used to manufacture a variety of key components, such as valves, pump housings, agitators, etc. It is able to operate stably in harsh environments such as high temperature, high pressure, corrosion, etc., which improves the reliability and safety of the equipment.


  • Because Zr702 plate has a low thermal conductivity, it is also used to manufacture hot-end components for aero engines and gas turbines. In these components including zirconium target, temperature and heat management are critical, and Zr702 plate effectively reduces heat transfer, improving the efficiency and safety of the equipment.


  • In addition to the fields mentioned above, Zr702 plate is also used in medical devices, electronic equipment, and automotive components. For example, in medical devices, Zr702 plate can be used to manufacture highly demanding products such as artificial joints and dental implants. These zirconium products need to have good biocompatibility and corrosion resistance, and Zr702 plate can meet these requirements and improve medical outcomes and the quality of patient survival.


As a high-performance zirconium alloy material, zirconium 702 plate has a wide range of application prospects. With the continuous progress of science and technology and the expansion of application fields, zirconium alloy materials will have more applications and development. At the same time, with the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the application of zirconium alloy materials in the field of environmental protection will also receive more attention and promotion.
