Home > Zirconium Bar
Barsham Nickel Alloys, Doha, Qatar, is a leading manufacturer and supplier of high-performance nickel alloys and specialty metal solutions. With years of industry experience, we offer assured, precision-crafted solutions to different industries. Our Zirconium Bars are produced from high-purity zirconium, providing superior corrosion resistance, particularly in aggressive conditions. These bars find application in the chemical, nuclear, and aerospace industries, where performance and durability are critical. We guarantee on-time delivery, giving our customers reliable products that suit their precise needs effectively.
Zirconium Bars consist of high-purity zirconium (Zr), commonly 99.5% and above, with extreme resistance to corrosion under acidic and high-temperature conditions. The mechanical properties have a tensile strength of 340-550 MPa and an elongation of 20-30%, showing both strength and ductility. Zirconium’s density is 6.52 g/cm³ and is extremely resistant to oxidation and wear. Its high strength-to-weight ratio and capability of enduring extreme conditions make it perfect for applications in chemical processing, nuclear reactors, and aerospace.

Zirconium Bars are applied extensively in industries that need materials with strength at high temperatures and corrosion resistance. The bars are widely applied in chemical processing industries for the production of reactors, heat exchangers, and pipes because they are acid- and alkali-resistant. In nuclear power plants, the zirconium bars are also a requirement for fuel cladding and parts of a reactor, where they have to resist radiation as well as high temperatures. Moreover, they are used in aerospace, implants, and welding because of their strength and endurance.
