Application
Zirconium is a metal that has many uses. It is used as the core material for generating nuclear power because it does not absorb many neutrons. It is also used in the steel industry to remove oxygen, carbon, and sulfur from steel because it reacts well with these elements. Zirconium is used in many other applications because it conducts heat well, can withstand high temperatures, and reacts easily with other materials.
Some other uses of zirconium include:
•
Making fine crystals in casting
•
Creating superconductors
•
Making materials that can resist high temperatures
•
Igniting explosives and fuses in pyrotechnics
•
Making materials for airbags and seatbelts
•
Creating special films for manufacturing transmitters
Zirconium is a very useful metal because it reacts easily with other materials and can be used in many different applications.
