Metal zirconium has very strong corrosion resistance, is not easy to be corroded by general acid-base aqueous solutions, is soluble in hydrofluoric acid and aqua regia, and has ultra-high hardness and strength. Zirconium is easy to absorb hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen; zirconium is relatively stable in the air, and powdered zirconium is easy to burn; zirconium has outstanding nuclear energy and is an indispensable material for the development of nuclear energy industry.
1. Appearance and description:
Zirconium powder (stored in water) is a gray metal powder, easy to burn in the air. It is divided into nuclear grade zirconium powder (stored in water), industrial grade zirconium powder (stored in water) and firearm grade zirconium powder (stored in water) .
