Zirconium Threaded Rods

Zirconium Threaded Rods are often used when strong acids and severe corrosion are used or expected. The most used Zirconium Threaded Rods are known as Zirconium 702 and they are famous for their superior corrosion resistance in some of the harshest environments.

It is able to survive in acids such as hydrochloric, sulfuric, formic, nitric and acetic.

It has a number of unique properties, including not absorbing neutrons – which makes it ideal for nuclear application. Zirconium is also superconductive at low temperatures, making it ideal for super magnets.

It is known for its resistance to acid corrosion but there are a number of areas where Zirconium is not recommended for use. Oxidising media such as ferric or cupric chlorides will decrease the corrosion resistance – and these Threaded Rods are not recommended for use in the presence of fluoride.

Applications include dye manufacturing, chemical processing, ammonium nitrate production and the nuclear industry.

Thread Sizes M2 to M24 as standard, with lengths ranging from one metre to three metres. Non standard sizes are available to order as specials.
