Zirconium metal and Zirconium alloys have advantages in specialized chemical environments-primarily acetic and hydrochloric acids. As Zirconium strips have better mechanical strength under high temperature, it is also used as support and structure components for high-temperature applications.
Zirconium strip is a thin, flat form of zirconium metal or alloy, prized for its exceptional corrosion resistance, particularly in aggressive chemical environments. With a silver-gray appearance, it offers excellent mechanical properties at both high and cryogenic temperatures.
Key Features:
Outstanding resistance to acids, alkalis, and seawater
Low thermal neutron absorption cross-section
Good ductility and formability
Biocompatible and non-toxic
Available in various grades (pure Zr, Zr-702, Zr-705) and thicknesses, zirconium strip can be supplied in annealed or cold-worked conditions to meet specific mechanical requirements.

* Zirconium strip is used to make high-temperature superconductive materials.
* Zirconium strip is used to make electrodes components, strips, flanges bolts, tubes and rods for special applications.
* Zirconium strips are also considered to be promising materials for commercial amorphous metal, also called metallic glass. Compared with common metal materials, amorphous metal has no grain boundaries, leading to better wear resistance and hardness.
* Zirconium strip has wide applications in medical equipment, such as zirconium implants.
Our Zirconium strip is carefully handled to prevent damage during storage and transportation and to preserve the quality of our product in its original condition.
