Zirconium Has Excellent Corrosion Resistance

Zirconium has excellent corrosion resistance

Zirconium has excellent corrosion resistance and can resist the corrosion damage of most organic acids, inorganic acids, strong alkalis and some molten salts. Therefore, zirconium materials can be used to extend the service life of some key components in corrosive environments.

At present, zirconium has been widely used as a corrosion-resistant material in the chemical industry, and has been maturely used in fields such as heat exchangers, scrubbers, reactors, pumps, valves, and corrosive medium pipelines.

For example, concentration tubes and hydrolysis tubes made of zirconium alloy have been successfully used in hydrogen peroxide production lines, while devices such as zirconium pressure reducing valves, agitators and flow meters are also used in fertilizer production, sewage treatment and dye industries. application.

Biomedical materials are an emerging high-tech material in recent years, and bio-application alloys must have good compatibility with the biological fluid environment and good corrosion resistance.

Zirconium is valued by scientific researchers because of its good biocompatibility, elastic modulus similar to bone, and good corrosion resistance.
