The properties of zirconium are much superior to titanium

Zirconium is a rare metal with amazing corrosion resistance, extremely high melting point, ultra-high hardness and strength. It is widely used in aerospace, military industry, nuclear reaction, and atomic energy fields.

The anti-corrosion and high-temperature titanium products used on the "Shenzhou VI" this time are far less corrosion-resistant than zirconium.

Its melting point is about 1,600 degrees, while the melting point of zirconium is above 1,800 degrees, and the melting point of zirconium dioxide is even more The temperature is as high as 2700 degrees, so as an aerospace material, zirconium's performance in all aspects is greatly superior to titanium.
