Zirconium rod is a silver-white electroplated metal

Zirconium rod is a silver-white electroplated metal. The surface is easy to form an oxide film, which is shiny. Its appearance is similar to steel and it is corrosive.

It can react with non-metallic elements and many metallic elements at high temperatures to form solid solution compounds. Zirconium rods have good plasticity and can be easily processed into plates, drawn into zirconium wires, and can also be made into targets, etc.

When tungsten is heated, it can absorb a large amount of oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and other gases and be used as a hydrogen storage material. The corrosion resistance of zirconium is better than titanium and close to niobium and tantalum.
