Zirconium wire, offered by Advanced Refractory Metals (ARM), provides versatility for both scientific research and industrial applications. Renowned for its strength, low neutron absorption, and exceptional corrosion resistance, zirconium wire plays a crucial role in nuclear engineering, chemical processing, and aerospace industries, supporting innovative advancements in these fields.
Zirconium wire is a silvery metal known for its high corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and biocompatibility. It has a high melting point of 1855°C (3371°F) and a small neutron absorption cross-section, making it essential in nuclear power applications. Available in pure and alloyed forms, such as Zr 702 and Zr 705, zirconium wire offers exceptional mechanical strength and resistance to harsh environments. As industries become more familiar with its unique properties, its applications continue to expand across chemical processing, medical, aerospace, and electronic sectors.
Advanced Refractory Metals is a leading supplier of zirconium wire and has been providing this high-quality product globally at competitive prices for the last few decades.
