Zirconium is a rare metal with amazing corrosion resistance, extremely high melting point, ultra-high hardness and strength, especially excellent corrosion resistance to fluoroboric acid (HBF4), sulfuric acid, boric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfonic acid, etc.

Zirconium wire is an important alloying element in magnesium alloys, which can improve the tensile strength and processability of magnesium. Zirconium wire is a modifier for aluminum magnesium alloys, which can refine the grain size.

Zirconia and zircon are valuable compounds in refractory materials. Zirconia is the main material of new ceramics and cannot be used as a heating material resistant to high temperature oxidation. Zirconia can be used as an additive for acid resistant enamel and glass, which can significantly improve the elasticity, chemical stability, and heat resistance of glass. Zirconia has high reflectivity and good thermal stability, and can be used as a light blocking agent in ceramics and glass.

Zirconia wire can absorb a large amount of gases such as oxygen, hydrogen, ammonia, etc. during heating. In electronic tubes, zirconium powder is used as a degassing agent, and zirconium wire and zirconium sheet are used as ideal absorbers for gate supports, anode supports, etc. When powdered iron and zirconium nitrate are mixed, a sparkling powder is generated. Most of them are used as outer packaging for uranium fuel components in nuclear reactors. It can also withstand the use of flashlights for photos and corrosion-resistant containers and piping, especially hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid.
