Introduction to the uses and advantages of zirconium pipes

High Purity Welded Zirconium pipe
 

 

Advantages of zirconium pipes:

Zirconium is an important special material in acetic acid equipment. Zirconium has better corrosion resistance and mechanical properties than stainless steel, nickel-based alloys and titanium. It is very suitable for manufacturing chemical equipment such as containers, heat exchangers and instruments. Zirconium material has properties such as corrosion resistance, extremely high melting point, ultra-high hardness and strength. It is widely used in aerospace, military industry, nuclear reaction, atomic energy, chemical industry, petroleum, medicine and other fields. The grades of zirconium materials currently produced include ZrR60702 and ZrR60705. Generally, zirconium 702 is used. When high strength is required, zirconium 705 can be used.

Zirconium tube industrial uses:

1. Getter

Zirconium, like lithium and titanium, can strongly absorb nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen and other gases. When the temperature exceeds 900 degrees Celsius, zirconium can violently absorb nitrogen; at 200 degrees Celsius, one hundred grams of metallic zirconium can absorb 817 liters of hydrogen, which is equivalent to more than 800,000 times that of iron. This characteristic of zirconium has been widely used. For example, in the electric vacuum industry, zirconium powder is widely used to coat the anodes and other heated parts of electric vacuum components and instruments on the surface to absorb the residual gas in the vacuum tube and create a high vacuum. of electronic tubes and other electric vacuum instruments, thereby improving their quality and extending their service life.

2. Metallurgical effect

Zirconium can also be used as a "vitamin" in the metallurgical industry, exerting its powerful deoxidation, nitrogen removal, and sulfur removal effects. As long as one thousandth of zirconium is added to steel, the hardness and strength will be amazingly improved; zirconium-containing armor steel, stainless steel and heat-resistant steel are important materials for the manufacture of national defense weapons such as armored vehicles, tanks, cannons and bulletproof plates. . By mixing zirconium into copper and drawing it into copper wire, the conductivity will not be reduced, but the melting point will be greatly increased, making it very suitable for use as high-voltage wires. Zirconium-containing zinc-magnesium alloy is light and resistant to high temperatures. Its strength is twice that of ordinary magnesium alloy and can be used in the manufacture of jet engine components.
