Zirconium Powder 99.5% Zr 40 1gr-10kg

Zirconium is a non-toxic, soft, silver-white shiny metal that is easily flammable. The online shop Auremo supplies zirconium of high quality at affordable prices.

The metal is very quickly passivated by a thin oxide layer and is therefore corrosion-resistant. Zirconium has a high melting point, is easily flammable in powder form, and burns with a magnesium-like flame. Zirconium is non-toxic and is found in the human body only in small amounts.

Pure zirconium is soft and can be easily forged and rolled. It can also be machined, noting that fine chips and dust are easily flammable.

Since zirconium produces a bright light without fogging when burned, it is used in the manufacture of flash powders, fireworks, and signal lights. In nuclear technology, it is used because of its neutron permeability, particularly in devices where absorption is to be avoided. Zirconium is often used as an alloy metal to improve thermal and mechanical properties. In stainless steel, it is used to prevent embrittlement. Zirconium acts as a deoxidizing and denitrifying agent in combination with sulfur, oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen.
