1. Melting and Casting:

Zirconium sponge is melted using electron beam or vacuum arc melting techniques. The molten zirconium is cast into ingots, which serve as the raw material for further processing.

2. Forging

The zirconium ingots are forged to form the shape of sheets.

3. Hot Rolling:

The zirconium sheets are heated and passed through hot rolling mills to reduce their thickness and achieve the desired dimensions. This hot rolling process helps in shaping the zirconium into a preliminary form.

4. Intermediate Annealing:

Intermediate annealing involves heating the partially rolled zirconium to remove stresses and improve its workability. This step enhances the material’s homogeneity and prepares it for further processing.

5. Cold Rolling:

The zirconium is then cold-rolled to achieve the final desired thickness and dimensions. Cold rolling increases the strength and surface finish of the material.

6. Cutting and Shearing:

The cold-rolled zirconium sheets are cut into specific sizes and shapes using cutting and shearing processes.

7. Surface Finishing:

Zirconium sheets can undergo surface finishing processes, such as polishing or pickling, to achieve the desired surface texture and cleanliness.

8. Final Annealing:

The final product may undergo a final annealing process to relieve any residual stresses and optimize the material properties.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=””][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Quality Assurance of Zirconium Sheet” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center” css=””][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=””]

Visual Inspection

Inspect the entire surface of the zirconium sheet for scratches, cracks, pits, or any other visible imperfections. Ensure uniformity in color and finish across the entire surface.

Dimensional Inspection

Use precision measurement tools such as calipers, micrometers, or laser measurement devices to check length, width, and thickness. Compare the measurements against the specified tolerances.

Chemical Composition Analysis

Perform chemical analysis using techniques such as X-ray fluorescence (XRF) or inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectrometry. Verify that the zirconium content and impurity levels are within specified limits.

Hardness Testing

Use a hardness tester to measure the material’s hardness. Ensure that the hardness values fall within the acceptable range specified for zirconium.

Microstructure Analysis

Use an optical microscope to inspect the grain structure and overall microstructure of the zirconium sheet. Look for signs of improper heat treatment or other manufacturing issues.

Ultrasonic Testing

Utilize ultrasonic testing equipment to send high-frequency sound waves through the zirconium sheet. Analyze the reflected waves to identify internal defects, such as voids or inclusions.

Thickness:

Zirconium Sheet: Typically implies a thinner piece of zirconium with a thickness less than 6mm. Sheets are commonly used for applications where a lower thickness and lighter weight are crucial.

Zirconium Plate: Generally refers to a flat, broad piece of zirconium with a thickness greater than 6mm. Plates are often associated with thicker sections used in heavy-duty applications.

Applications:

Zirconium Sheet: More commonly used in applications where a lighter material is sufficient. This can include thin-walled containers, electronic components, or applications where weight is a critical factor.

Zirconium Plate: Primarily utilized in heavy industries and applications where mechanical strength and durability are paramount. Examples include structural components in chemical processing equipment or aerospace applications.

In many cases, the choice between “sheet” and “plate” might be influenced by the specific requirements of a project, including factors like strength, weight, and intended use.

Compared with other sheets such as titanium sheets, stainless steel sheets, nickel-based alloy sheets, and so on, zirconium sheet has the following advantages that make it stand out and become the first choice in some industries.

Exceptional Corrosion Resistance

Zirconium sheet is highly corrosion-resistant due to a natural oxide layer on its surface, which protects against chemicals, acids, and alkalis. This makes it useful in environments like chemical processing plants, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and seawater desalination facilities. Its resistance to corrosive substances ensures durability and reliability.

Great Heat Transfer Capabilities

Zirconium sheets, due to their high thermal conductivity, are ideal for heat exchangers in industries such as petrochemicals, power generation, and refrigeration. Their use can improve energy efficiency, lower costs, and optimize performance.

Mechanical Strength and Structural Integrity

Zirconium sheet boasts superior mechanical strength and structural integrity. Its strength makes it ideal for demanding applications in aerospace industries and defense applications, where it’s used to manufacture lightweight, durable components and military equipment.

Low Neutron Absorption Ability

Zirconium sheet, due to its low neutron-capture cross-section, shields fuel from nuclear fission, preventing premature or hazardous chain reactions and maintaining control over the process.
