What is zirconium 702 flat plate?
Zirconium 702 flat plate is a flat - shaped product made from zirconium 702 alloy, which is a well - known zirconium material with unique properties. This flat plate is widely used in various industries due to its excellent combination of physical and chemical characteristics.One of the most prominent features of zirconium 702 flat plate is its outstanding corrosion resistance. It can withstand the attack of a wide range of corrosive substances, including acids (such as hydrochloric, sulfuric, and nitric acids), alkalis, and salts. The low impurity content in zirconium 702, typically with more than 99.2% zirconium and small amounts of hafnium, iron, chromium, and nickel, contributes to the formation of a stable and adherent oxide layer on the surface of the flat plate. This oxide layer acts as a protective barrier, preventing the underlying metal from corroding in aggressive chemical environments. As a result, zirconium 702 flat plates are commonly used in the chemical industry for equipment like reaction vessels, heat exchangers, and pipelines.In terms of mechanical properties, zirconium 702 flat plates have a density of about 6.51 g/cm³, giving them a relatively light - weight characteristic. They possess good tensile and yield strength, along with excellent ductility. This allows the plates to be formed into different shapes and withstand mechanical stresses without easy fracture. The combination of strength and ductility makes them suitable for use in structural applications where both durability and the ability to be fabricated are required.Zirconium 702 flat plates also have good high - temperature performance. They can maintain their mechanical properties at elevated temperatures, which is beneficial in industries such as the aerospace and nuclear industries. In the nuclear industry, zirconium 702 flat plates can be used as fuel cladding materials or in other components that are exposed to high - temperature and high - pressure environments. Their low neutron absorption cross - section ensures efficient nuclear fission reactions.
