Zirconium alloy is the chemical element with Zr its symbol and 40 as its atomic number. This name is taken out from the mineral name Zircon. It is considered to be an important source of Zirconium alloy. This alloy is grey-white, lustrous as well as strong transition metal that closely resembles hafnium and titanium to a lesser extent. This alloy is soft, ductile and malleable. This alloy is highly flammable at powdered form but the solid form is lesser ignition prone. Also, the alloy is highly resistant to corrosion by seawater, alkalis, acids etc. It will dissolve sulfuric and hydrochloric acid. Thus Zirconium tubes are highly preferred in many industrial applications.
Solitaire Overseas is one of the prominent industry that globally is dealing as a reliable manufacturer, supplier, stockiest and exporter of the quality of Zirconium tubes. They are providing the tubes at the comprehensive range so that all buyers’ demands can be well satisfied. Also, it is offered to the patrons at customized specifications depending on application wants. It is made available easily at different specifications, wall thickness, sizes, grades, and standards etc as per buyers want. A buyer can easily collect the product at market leading rates so that placing the orders in bulk could be a lot easier.
At the global market, the product is widely appreciated because of the various amazing attributes that it possesses. It is having good dimensional accuracy, fine surface finishes, durability, flexibility, long-lasting, robust construction, flexibility, and anti-corrosiveness. It also is great resistance to corrosion, pitting, oxidation, stress corrosion cracking, crevice corrosion etc.
The industry in order to check the product quality is conducting several essential tests. The tests are including positive material identification tests, hardness test, pitting resistance test, intergranular corrosion test. Additionally, tests like the mechanical/chemical test, macro/micro test and flaring/flattening tests are conducted.
Heat treatment chart, quality assurance plan, packaging list, guarantee letter, raw material test report, material traceability report etc is provided to the buyers.
At the time of Zirconium tubes shipping, it is packed in wooden cases/pallets etc for assuring safer and damage free delivering of the product. The industry also packs the product as per buyers needs.
Zirconium alloys are available in size range outside diameter 9.53-38.1 mm (3/8 - 1 1/2 in.) with wall thicknesses from 0.7 to 5 mm (0.0275 to 0.1968 in.)*. OD = outside diameter WT = wall thickness
Zirconium is often specified as a material of construction for piping systems in chemical, petrochemical, and oil & gas process industries due to its exceptional corrosion resistance, particularly in harsh environments like acids and high-temperature applications.
Zirconium is used in ceramics, abrasives, lamp filaments, jet engines, and space shuttle parts. In the medical field, zirconium dioxide (zirconia) is widely applied for dental and surgical implants due to its biocompatibility and durability.
Zirconium alloy is primarily composed of over 95% zirconium, with small amounts of other elements like tin, niobium, iron, chromium, and nickel. These additional metals enhance the alloy's mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for nuclear applications.
