Definition and Composition of 99.9% Zr Pipe

1. Zirconium tube selection
Appropriate process materials should be selected based on the use environment, metal material type, organizational structure, physical properties, chemical properties, etc.

2. Surface treatment of zirconium tube
Before welding zirconium pipes, the pipe surface must be properly prepared. Surface treatment involves removing the oxide layer on the surface of the zirconium tube to reduce the inclusion of impurities and oxides. At the same time, the surface of the zirconium tube should be kept dry and clean.

Uses Of Zirconium Tubes In Military Industry And Other Aspects

From a military perspective, as long as one thousandth of zirconium is added to steel, the hardness and strength will be astonishingly high. Zirconium-containing armor steel, cannon forging steel, stainless steel and heat-resistant steel are important materials for manufacturing weapons such as armored vehicles, tanks, cannons and ballistic plates.

From the perspective of atomic energy and nuclear energy, zirconium has outstanding nuclear energy and is an indispensable material for the development of the atomic energy industry. my country’s large nuclear power plants generally use zirconium materials. If nuclear power is used to generate electricity, each million kilowatts of power generation capacity will last for one year. It will consume 20 to 25 tons of zirconium metal. A 30,000-horsepower nuclear submarine uses zirconium and zirconium alloys as cladding and pressure tubes for nuclear fuel. The amount of zirconium used reaches 20 to 30 tons.
