Yesterday, we learned about basic knowledge about zirconium. Today, we will discuss zirconium applications.
Zirconium is a kind of rare metal. With amazing corrosion resistance, high melting point, high hardness and strength and other characteristics, zirconium is widely used in aerospace, military industry, nuclear reaction, nuclear energy and other fields.

Zirconium powder is easy to burn in the air, so zirconium powder can be used as detonator and smokeless powder. Zirconium can be used as deoxidation desulphurization additive for quality steel. Zirconium is also important component to make armor steel, stainless steel and heat-resistant steel.
Zirconium is important element to magnesium alloys and zirconium can improve the tensile strength and processing properties of magnesium alloy. Zirconium is also alterant of aluminum magnesium alloy and it can refine grain crystal.

Zirconium can absorb a great deal of oxygen, hydrogen, ammonia and other gases in the heating, so zirconium is the ideal getter, such as electronic tube uses zirconium powder as degasifier and zirconium wire and zirconium plate are used as brackets.

For the atomic energy and nuclear power, because zirconium has prominent nuclear property, so zirconium is indispensable material for developing atomic energy industry. The large nuclear power plants generally use zirconium in China.
In sum, zirconium applications are wide.
