Zirkon Zr 705

Zirconium Zr 705 is an alloyed zirconium alloy with additives of niobium.

Properties

Zirconium offers very good resistance in highly corrosive environments such as acids and alkaline solutions, as well as high toughness. Zirconium is easy to machine, weld and fully recyclable. It can be easily processed by rolling, forging and hammering.
Zirconium is passivated in air by a thin, very dense zirconium oxide layer and is therefore inert. It is therefore insoluble in almost all acids, only aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid attack zirconium at room temperature.

Applications

• Chemical industry
• nuclear technology
