Benefits of Zirconium Plate
Zirconium Plates are Corrosion Resistant
Thanks to the nanometre-thick passivation layer which coats their surface, zirconium plates are extraordinarily resistant to corrosion. Zirconium plate resists attack by acids and alkalis alike, and have no reaction to the majority of laboratory solvents in common use. The only potentially common acid capable of corroding zirconium plate is hydrofluoric acid – even seawater will be resisted.
Zirconium Plates Have an Extremely High Melting Point
Zirconium plates have an extremely high melting point, able to remain solid up to 1,855°C – making them much more capable at high temperatures than the majority of other metals. This high melting point is sought after in the production of zircalloys, as it raises their own melting point and makes them better-suited for use in furnaces, jet engines and other stressful, high-temperature applications.
Zirconium Plates Have a Very Low Neutron Absorption Ability
As mentioned above, one of the primary applications for zirconium plate is in cladding for nuclear fuels. Thanks to a very low neutron-capture cross section, zirconium plate effectively shields the fuel from becoming involved in the nuclear fission reaction, protecting the reactor from a premature reaction or a potentially hazardous chain reaction, and ensuring good control of the process.
Application of Zirconium Plate
Nuclear reactors: Zirconium is highly resistant to corrosion, making it an ideal material for use in nuclear reactors. It is used in the form of zirconium plates to manufacture fuel rods and other components.
Chemical processing: Zirconium plates are used in the construction of equipment and vessels that handle corrosive chemicals. Zirconium's resistance to corrosion makes it suitable for applications where materials like stainless steel may fail.
Medical implants: Zirconium plates can be used in the manufacture of medical implants such as hip replacements and dental implants. The biocompatibility of zirconium makes it an ideal material for such applications.
Aerospace industry: Zirconium plates are used in the aerospace industry where lightweight and high-strength materials are required. It is used in the construction of aircraft components like heat exchangers, fuel cells, and structural parts.
Heat exchangers: Zirconium plates are used in heat exchangers due to their excellent heat transfer properties. Zirconium's high thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance make it ideal for applications where heat transfer is required.
Processing Technology for Zirconium Plates
Melting and Casting
Zirconium sponge is melted using electron beam or vacuum arc melting techniques. The molten zirconium is cast into ingots, which serve as the raw material for further processing.
Hot Rolling
The zirconium ingots are heated and passed through hot rolling mills to reduce their thickness and achieve the desired dimensions. This hot rolling process helps in shaping the zirconium into a preliminary form.
Intermediate Annealing
Intermediate annealing involves heating the partially rolled zirconium to remove stresses and improve its workability. This step enhances the material's homogeneity and prepares it for further processing.
Cold Rolling
The zirconium is then cold-rolled to achieve the final desired thickness and dimensions. Cold rolling increases the strength and surface finish of the material.
Cutting and Shearing
The cold-rolled zirconium sheets are cut into specific sizes and shapes using cutting and shearing processes.
Surface Finishing
Zirconium plates can undergo surface finishing processes, such as polishing or pickling, to achieve the desired surface texture and cleanliness.
Final Annealing
The final product may undergo a final annealing process to relieve any residual stresses and optimize the material properties.
