1. What is Zirconium Plate?

Zirconium Plate is a flat-rolled zirconium metal product manufactured for applications requiring excellent corrosion resistance, high-temperature stability, and chemical compatibility. It is commonly used in chemical processing equipment, nuclear systems, aerospace components, and specialized industrial applications.

2. What grades of Zirconium Plate are available?

REG Metals supplies:

• Zirconium 702
• Zirconium 704
• Zirconium 705

Custom zirconium alloys may be available depending on project requirements.

3. What thicknesses and sizes are available?

Zirconium Plate is available in a wide range of thicknesses, widths, and lengths. Common thickness ranges include 0.5 mm to 100 mm+, with custom-cut plates available to customer specifications.

4. Why is zirconium used in chemical processing applications?

Zirconium offers exceptional resistance to many aggressive chemicals, especially acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid. Its corrosion resistance allows longer service life compared to many conventional metals.

5. Why is zirconium used in nuclear applications?

Zirconium has a very low neutron absorption cross-section, allowing it to be used in nuclear environments where material performance and neutron economy are critical.

6. Can Zirconium Plate be welded and machined?

Yes. Zirconium Plate can be welded, formed, cut, and machined using proper procedures to prevent contamination and maintain corrosion resistance.
