How can you use zirconium?

In: Chemistry [Edit categories]

Answer:

* nuclear reactor components

- zircaloy 2 (alloy with some Sn, Cr, Fe, O): nuclear fuel rods

- zircaloy 4: calandria

- Zr-Nb: pressure tubes

- U-Zr-Er-H: nuclear fuel

* alloys for space aircraft and aviation (Zr-Al)

* to made pumps, pipes and valves for special processes in chemical industry

* getter, its values are flash bulbs

* component of incendiary bombs

* crucibles, etc. (cheaper than platinum crucibles)
