Zirconium alloy is made up of zirconium and a small amount of other metals like tin, niobium, etc., that is used in various applications because of its enhanced properties. It has low neutron absorption, high strength, and corrosion resistance. In the nuclear industry, it is used for fuel rod cladding, making reactor operation safe and efficient.
It is employed in the aerospace industry for making engines and other parts due to its lightweight nature and high strength. In the medical field, it is used in making surgical instruments since it is biocompatible and corrosion resistant. It is used in chemical processing plants for making pipes and other equipment because it is resistance to corrosion. It is used in automotive industry as it improves fuel efficiency and performance by reducing vehicle weight.
The market of Zirconium alloy is driven by several factors. Its demand in the nuclear industry, where it exhibits low thermal neutron absorption and high corrosion resistance, contributes to its market growth. Its compositions improve fuel performance in nuclear reactors, thus ensuring a stable long-term demand. Its excellent corrosion resistance makes it valuable in the chemical processing industry for equipment and pipelines. Its high strength and durability make it useful in aerospace and defense applications; this further contributes to its demand. Its demand in the nuclear industry, applications in the chemical processing industry, and high strength and durability influence industrial Zirconium alloy procurement in the global market.
Raw Material for Zirconium alloy Production
According to the Zirconium alloy manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Zirconium alloy include (High-purity zirconium)-Niobium-Tin.
Manufacturing Process of Zirconium alloy
The detailed Zirconium alloy production cost report consists of the following major industrial manufacturing process:
- From High-purity Zirconium, Niobium, and Tin: The industrial manufacturing process of zirconium alloy starts by selecting a high-purity zirconium. First, zirconium is melted with niobium and tin in an inert atmosphere. The molten alloy is cast into desired shapes and cooled in controlled environment to minimize defects. The casted alloy then goes through forging or rolling, which refines the alloy’s microstructure and improves its mechanical properties. After this, the alloy is annealed to relieve internal stresses. The alloy can also go through surface treatments to improve corrosion resistance.
Zirconium alloys are made up of 95.5% to 99.2% zirconium, and the rest are other metals. It has a density of around 6.55 g/cm³. It has good thermal conductivity, which is 30% more than stainless steel. It has a melting point of 1850°C. The value of its coefficient of thermal expansion is 6 μm/m°C. It has a tensile strength of up to 541 MPa (78.4 ksi). Its elongation percentages range from 28% to 44%. It is resistant to corrosion. It possesses a low thermal neutron absorption cross-section and is used in nuclear reactor applications. The combination of these properties makes zirconium alloy a good choice for various applications.
