Zirconium is widely used in a wide range of fields, mainly in the form of zirconium silicate and zirconium oxide in ceramics, refractory materials and other fields. Only 3%-4% of zirconium ore is processed into

MetalZirconium (or sponge zirconium) is further processed into various zirconium materials. Due to the small thermal neutron absorption cross section of metal zirconium, metal zirconium has excellent nuclear properties. Nuclear-grade zirconium is used as a structural material for nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines and civilian power reactors, and as a cladding for uranium fuel elements. Nuclear-grade zirconium can be regarded as an important strategic metal for the country and is closely related to the development of the nuclear industry.

As an active metal, zirconium forms an oxide film at room temperature. This oxide film gives zirconium and its alloys excellent corrosion resistance. At the same time, zirconium has good mechanical and heat transfer properties, coupled with significant cost advantages, making it an excellent corrosion-resistant structural material in today's petrochemical industry.
Zirconium used in chemical acid and alkali resistant equipment, military industry, and electronics industry is called industrial grade zirconium. In terms of processing difficulty, process level, and technological content, metal zirconium and its alloy products are at the top of the industrial chain.
