The zirconium (Zr) rod is ideal for use in a nuclear power rod because of its small neutron absorption cross-section and its high melting point of 1855°C (3371°F). This silvery metallic element also leads to better wear resistance and hardness of commercial amorphous metals, more commonly known as metallic glass.
Due to high corrosion resistance, zirconium materials, such as zirconium metal rods, have many uses in medical equipment and to handle other highly corrosive chemicals. Zirconium rods also act as raw materials for other zirconium products, like crucibles and reactors, and can be consumed in zirconium electrodes.
