Key Advantages & Characteristics

 

Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Corrosion rate in concentrated hydrochloric acid (≥ 37% HCl) and sulfuric acid (≥ 70% H₂SO₄) is significantly lower than that of titanium, maintaining good resistance even in strongly reducing acids.

High-Temperature Oxidation Stability: Forms a dense ZrO₂ surface film at temperatures ≤ 500°C, preventing further corrosion.

Low Neutron Absorption Cross-Section: Thermal neutron absorption cross-section is only about 0.18 barn, making it suitable for nuclear reactor fuel cladding and nuclear waste container materials.

High Melting Point & Strength: Melting point ≥ 1850°C, with tensile strength up to 750 MPa, combining high strength with good plasticity.

Good Impact Toughness: High impact toughness at room temperature, capable of withstanding significant external force and pressure.

Excellent Workability: Can be hot-rolled, cold-rolled, welded, and stamped. Surface roughness is easily controlled within Ra ≤ 1.6 µm.
