Zirconium Rod – Bar

Key Advantages

  • Precision customization: diameter 5–400 mm; round/square/hex; tight tolerances; small-batch sampling.

  • High corrosion & thermal stability: reliable in acids/alkalis (except HF) and elevated temperatures.

  • Process control & QA: visual/UT/chemical/mechanical checks; low impurity control; clean finish options.

Primary Applications

  • Chemical processing: structural supports, fasteners; resists corrosive media (except HF).

  • Nuclear reactors: core/structural components; low neutron absorption, high-temp stability.

  • High-tech fasteners: precision bolts and studs for aerospace/advanced manufacturing.

Testing (typical)

  • Visual inspection (surface quality)

  • Ultrasonic flaw detection (internal defects)

  • Chemical analysis (element control to spec)

  • Mechanical tests (strength, ductility)

Packaging & Delivery

  • Packaging: protective coating/wrap; export wooden cases; ends protected.

  • Shipping: global courier or sea freight; lead times aligned with your schedule.
