Hafnium Rod-Bar

Key Advantages

  • Nuclear-grade purity: Hf + Zr > 99.98%, Zr < 1% for stable neutron absorption and high-purity performance in critical systems.

  • Flexible dimensions & shapes: Diameter 5–100 mm; round, square, hexagonal and custom profiles; cut-to-size for fast integration.

  • Controlled properties: Multiple conditions — cold rolled (Y), hot rolled (R), annealed (M), quenched (C) — to balance strength and ductility.

  • Certified quality system: Produced under ISO 9001 & AS9100 with compatibility to ASTM B737, ASME, DIN, NACE, SAE expectations.

Primary Applications

  • Nuclear energy: Control rods, absorber elements and safety components requiring reliable neutron capture and documented compliance.

  • Industrial & metallurgical: Getters and scavengers for oxygen/nitrogen in lamps and high-performance melting processes.

  • Aerospace & medical: High-temperature and precision components operating in aggressive or mission-critical environments.

Testing (Typical)

  • Visual inspection for surface quality (no cracks, laps or inclusions)

  • Ultrasonic flaw detection for internal integrity

  • Chemical composition analysis (Hf/Zr and impurities)

  • Mechanical testing as per project/standard requirements

Packaging & Delivery

  • Packaging: Standard protective export packing or custom solutions (foam, partitioned crates, etc.) to prevent damage and contamination.

  • Shipping: Global delivery with rapid dispatch for standard sizes; coordinated lead times for custom diameters, lengths and profiles.
