Zirconium is a silver-gray transition metal, a type of element that is malleable and ductile and easily forms stable compounds. It is also highly resistant to corrosion. Let’s take a look at some facts about the metal as well as where you might use it and where you can get it for your next project. […]

In the forging industry, companies often look for products with plasticity matching, good strength, moderate density, and can withstand a high-temperature atmosphere. Like titanium, zirconium also has outstanding corrosion resistance in several alkali and acid media. It is among the few essential structural materials used by nuclear industries.Here are the reasons why several companies use […]

Have you heard of the metal zirconium? It’s a chemical element that is a strong solid at room temperature. It does not exist in a pure state in nature and requires complex physio-chemical processes to get there. When it is in pure form, it’s a corrosion resistant metal that can handle high water temperatures. In […]

Ferralloy is available to help you navigate through you metalworking needs. From choosing which material is best suited for your project to determining which processes would benefit […]

When it comes to choosing parts and components for your next project, it can be difficult to determine the best material for your specific needs. There are so many different metals and alloys to choose from, each with their own set of benefits. One type of material that you might find beneficial is Zirconium (Zr). […]

There are several chemical elements that are ubiquitous in nature. But did you know that zirconium belongs to this category? This chemical element is mainly discovered in sand and rock deposits, where it is mined and purified.It is a transition metal that closely resembles hafnium and, to a lesser extent, titanium. It is glossy, gray-white, […]

You’ve might have heard and seen zirconium from various TV shows and documentaries, but what and where does this precious metal come from? To start, zirconium comes from the mineral zircon that belongs to the group of nesosilicates that are rock-forming minerals. This metal is usually used as a refractory and opacifier by industrial forgers […]
