Hafnium tubes are used in nuclear reactors, aerospace components, semiconductor fabrication, and chemical processing due to their high-temperature and corrosion-resistant properties.
Pure hafnium tubing offers maximum neutron absorption, while hafnium alloy tubes (e.g., Hf-Zr or Hf-Ta) provide enhanced mechanical strength and corrosion resistance for specific applications.
Hafnium tubes are produced through extrusion, cold rolling, machining, and heat treatment to achieve precise dimensions and high-purity finishes.
Hafnium absorbs neutrons without forming long-lived radioactive isotopes, making it ideal for reactor control rods and other nuclear applications.
Yes, hafnium is highly resistant to oxidation and chemical corrosion, making it suitable for harsh environments.
Yes, MetalsTek offers customized hafnium tubing and pipes in various sizes, wall thicknesses, and alloys to meet customer specifications.
Hafnium is denser and absorbs neutrons better than zirconium, making it preferable for nuclear applications, while zirconium is widely used in structural components.
Industries such as aerospace, nuclear energy, electronics, and chemical processing utilize hafnium alloy tubes for their unique thermal and mechanical properties.
The price varies based on purity, size, and alloy composition. Contact sales@metalstek.com for a quote.
MetalsTek follows ASTM B776 and other industry standards to ensure quality and compliance.
