Zirconium is a silver-gray metal with a density of 6.49g/cm³, with high hardness, strong corrosion resistance, and good ductility and plasticity.
Zirconium for sale has excellent corrosion resistance in many commonly used acid and alkali media, and only a few, several metals have excellent corrosion resistance in strong alkali like zirconium. The characteristics of zirconium metal for sale in these media are very unique, it can be used under the conditions of acid and base interchange. Due to the corrosion resistance of zirconium products in many industrial solutions, zirconium materials are widely used in the chemical industry. The corrosion resistance of zirconium alloy is due to the fact that it can form a dense metal oxide film on the metal surface. This oxide film can keep the metal free from chemical and mechanical erosion at temperatures up to 400 ° C. Zirconium products have good resistance to local corrosion such as spot corrosion, crevice corrosion and stress corrosion cracking.
Zirconium's outstanding corrosion resistance is primarily due to the formation of a stable, protective oxide layer on its surface when exposed to oxygen. This oxide layer of the zirconium metal for sale is extremely thin, yet it effectively prevents further corrosion by acting as a barrier between the metal and the environment. Unlike the oxide layers on some other metals, which can be porous or easily damaged, oxide layer of the zirconium for sale is highly tenacious and self-healing. If scratched or otherwise disturbed, the oxide layer quickly reforms, restoring protection.
Zirconium products including zirconium plate exhibit excellent resistance to a wide range of corrosive agents, including most organic acids, inorganic acids, strong alkalis, and some molten salts. The zirconium metal for sale is particularly resistant to hydrochloric acid (HCl), sulfuric acid (H2SO4), and nitric acid (HNO3), even at high concentrations and temperatures. However, it is less resistant to hydrofluoric acid (HF) and phosphoric acid (H3PO4), especially at higher temperatures. Its resistance to alkalis makes it suitable for use in environments where many other metals would degrade.
Zirconia has become a popular material for dental applications due to its tooth-like color, which makes it aesthetically pleasing for use in dental crowns, bridges, and implants. Zirconia’s high strength and durability ensure that these dental prosthetics can withstand the forces of chewing and last for many years. Additionally, zirconia’s smooth surface reduces plaque accumulation, lowering the risk of gum disease around the implant site.
Zirconium alloys, among types of non ferrous alloys, owing to their excellent wear resistance and biocompatibility, are used in the manufacture of orthopedic implants, such as hip and knee replacements. Zirconium alloy implants are designed to mimic the natural movement of joints while minimizing wear and tear, thereby extending the life of the implant. The biocompatibility of zirconium products like zirconium rod ensures that the body does not reject these implants, making them a safe choice for long-term use.
The biocompatibility and mechanical stability of zirconium metal for sale make it an ideal material for cochlear implants. These devices require materials that can remain in the body for extended periods without causing adverse reactions, and zirconium alloy’s properties meet these requirements. Its use in cochlear implants helps improve the quality of life for individuals with severe hearing loss.
