Zirconium Bar

Zirconium rod are renowned for their excellent corrosion resistance, unaffected by acids, alkalis and even highly corrosive environments, making them ideal for chemical processing, nuclear reactors and marine equipment applications. In addition, zirconium bar also have excellent thermal conductivity and mechanical strength, ensuring reliability under extreme conditions. Their low neutron absorption cross section also makes them invaluable in nuclear power generation. With these outstanding properties, zirconium bar continue to play a key role in the development of technological frontiers in various fields around the world.

Among the leading zirconium bar metal manufacturers in China, iTOP Metal has a strong R&D team dedicated to the innovation of zirconium rod material science and processing technology. We are able to develop higher purity, higher performance zirconium materials and provide a variety of specifications and grades of zirconium bar to meet the stringent requirements of the nuclear industry, chemical industry, aerospace and other fields.

Different grades of zirconium rods have their own unique performance advantages due to their different chemical compositions and purity. Pure zirconium rod materials (such as Zr 702) are suitable for chemical and medical fields with high corrosion resistance requirements, while zirconium alloy rods containing niobium, nickel or titanium (such as Zr 704, Zr 705, Zircaloy-2 and Zircaloy-4) are suitable for nuclear industry, aerospace and other high-tech fields due to their higher strength and high temperature resistance.

iTOP Metal has advanced production equipment and R&D team, and can provide customized zirconium rod solutions according to the special needs of customers. From zirconium material selection to processing technology, we can provide comprehensive and professional support for customers in different fields.

1. Nuclear Industry: iTOP® zirconium bar are widely used as cladding materials for nuclear reactor fuel bar due to their low neutron absorption cross section, ensuring the integrity of the fuel rods, providing a reliable seal for nuclear fuel, and preventing the leakage of radioactive materials.
2. Chemical Processing: iTOP® zirconium bar have excellent corrosion resistance and are ideal for use in corrosive chemical environments. They are used in chemical processing equipment such as reactors, containers and pipelines, where resistance to acids, alkalis and other corrosive substances is critical.
3. Aerospace and Defense: iTOP® zirconium bar are used in aerospace and defense applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to extreme temperatures. They are used to manufacture components such as aircraft engines, missile casings and structural components, where durability and performance under harsh conditions are critical.
4. Medical Devices: iTOP® zirconium bar are used in medical implants and devices due to their biocompatibility and resistance to body fluid corrosion. They are used in dental implants, prostheses and other surgical instruments, where long-term reliability and compatibility with the human body are critical.
5. Marine Equipment: iTOP® zirconium bar are favored in marine applications due to their corrosion resistance in seawater environments. They are used in shipbuilding, offshore platforms and desalination plants where exposure to salt water and harsh marine conditions can cause rapid corrosion of conventional materials.
6. Electronics: iTOP® zirconium bar are used in certain electronic components and devices due to their excellent electrical and thermal properties. They are used in applications such as electrodes, sensors and heating elements that require efficient electrical and thermal conductivity.
