MetalsTek Engineering is a top supplier of Zirconium products. Our prices are competitive, and we offer excellent lead times for all our materials. We can also create custom materials tailored to your specific needs or drawings.
Zirconium is a shiny metal that has a silvery-gray color. It is known for its strength, ability to be stretched, and ability to be shaped. Zirconium is very similar to hafnium and titanium. Although it can be easily set on fire in powder form, it is highly corrosion-resistant and can withstand high temperatures. This metal is used for many applications, such as pumps, valves, nuclear applications, chemical processing, reactor vessels, heat exchangers, etc.
