Hafnium is a metal with properties like high melting point, corrosion resistance, and neutron absorption abilities that make it useful in different industries. It is used in the nuclear sector for manufacturing control rods to absorb excess neutrons during the fission process. It is utilized in aerospace engineering as it improves high-temperature superalloys used in turbine blades and other critical components. It improves their oxidation resistance and thermal stability under extreme conditions. It is used in the electronics industry as its oxide has a high-k value utilized in microprocessors. It is employed in plasma cutting electrodes because of its thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance in harsh chemical environments. Its alloys, like niobium-hafnium, are used for their strength at high temperatures, and hafnium carbide is used for refractory applications.
The market of hafnium is driven by its demand in the aerospace, semiconductor, and nuclear energy sectors. Its usage in the aerospace industry for making superalloys used in turbine blades and jet engines contributes to its market growth. The growth of the semiconductor industry leads to the growing usage of advanced materials in chip production, boosting its demand. Its utilization in the making of nuclear reactor components, like control rods, expands its demand further. Factors like supply chain dynamics, price instability, etc., affect industrial hafnium procurement. Also, regulatory complications around dual-use materials cause difficulties in international trade that further affect its procurement around the world.
Raw Material for Hafnium Production
According to the Hafnium manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Hafnium include Zircon Ore-Chlorine Gas-Magnesium.
Manufacturing Process of Hafnium
The extensive Hafnium production cost report consists of the following major industrial manufacturing process:
- From Zircon Ore, Chlorine Gas, and Magnesium: The manufacturing process of hafnium metal starts with the extraction of zircon. First, the ore is crushed ground and subjected to chlorination, where it reacts with chlorine gas to produce hafnium chloride and zirconium chloride. The separation of hafnium and zirconium is achieved through solvent extraction or fractional crystallization that gives pure hafnium chloride. This compound is then reduced to hafnium metal using magnesium to get hafnium. The metal is purified using vacuum distillation and electron beam melting to obtain pure hafnium metal.
Hafnium is represented by the symbol Hf and the atomic number 72. It is a lustrous, silvery-gray transition metal that has an atomic mass of around 178.49 g/mol. It has a melting point of about 2200 degrees Celsius and a boiling point of around 5200 degrees Celsius. It has a density of around 13.3 g/cm³. It has a hexagonal close-packed crystal structure that transitions to a body-centered cubic structure at high temperatures. It is resistant to corrosion because of the formation of a protective oxide layer when exposed to air or moisture. It reacts with nonmetals at high temperatures and is resistant to concentrated alkalis. It exists in the +4 oxidation state in its compounds and forms various alloys with metals such as iron, tantalum, and titanium. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in nuclear reactors, ceramics, microprocessors, etc.
