Application areas

Zr702 zirconium is used in chemical plants in valves, pipes, heat exchangers and pumps. These systems are, for example, apparatus for the production of acetic acid, hydrochloric acid or urea. Even in the medical field Zr702 is used because it is biocompatible and shows no toxic effects. Another application of zirconium 702 is the nuclear technology.

Welding

Matching welding consumables should be used. Quality 4.8 of welding gases (eg argon with a purity of 99.998%) are recommended.
