Description of Zirconium Rod and Bar
Zirconium, symbolized as Zr with atomic number 40, is a lustrous gray-white metal celebrated for its high strength, corrosion resistance, and low thermal conductivity. Zirconium rods and bars, made from high-purity zirconium, offer exceptional durability and reliable performance in challenging environments. Rods typically feature a smaller diameter, making them suitable for precision applications such as medical devices and aerospace components. Conversely, bars have a larger diameter, ideal for heavy industrial uses that require structural integrity. These distinctive properties render zirconium rods and bars essential in industries like nuclear energy, chemical processing, and medical technology.
