702 Zirconium Plate
702 Zirconium Plate is a solid solution of zirconium or other metals. Zirconium has very low thermal neutron absorption cross section, high hardness, ductility and corrosion resistance. Zirconium alloys are mainly used in the field of nuclear technology, such as fuel rods in nuclear reactors.
702 705 zirconium plate Details
702 705 zirconium plate is a solid solution of zirconium or other metals. Zirconium has very low thermal neutron absorption cross section, high hardness, ductility and corrosion resistance. Zirconium alloys are mainly used in the field of nuclear technology, such as fuel rods in nuclear reactors. Typical compositions of nuclear grade zirconium alloys are more than 95% zirconium and less than 2% tin, niobium, iron, chromium, nickel and other metals, which are added to improve mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.
702 705 zirconium plate must be strictly inspected in the process of producing cladding tube and pressure tube for reactor. Each batch of products, in addition to the routine chemical composition, mechanical properties, dimensional accuracy and corrosion performance inspection, each pipe must pass the non-destructive testing.
