Zirconium
Zirconium is a silvery white metal with a high melting point and is light gray in color.
Density 6.49 g/cm3.The melting point is 1852±2℃ and the boiling point is 4377℃.The surface of zirconium easily forms an oxide film and is shiny,so its appearance is similar to steel.It is corrosion-resistant and soluble in hydrofluoric acid and aqua regia;at high temperatures,it can react with non-metallic elements and many metallic elements to form solid solution compounds.
Zirconium is a rare metal with extraordinary resistance to corrosion, a very high melting point, and extremely high levels of hardness and strength.

Chemical properties |
Pure zirconium wire has excellent corrosion resistance in strong oxidizing environments and can withstand very strong corrosive environments.For example:it is not susceptible to corrosion in solutions such as sulfuric acid,hydrochloric acid,potassium chloride and hydrofluoric acid.At the same time,under harsh conditions such as high temperature,high pressure and strong radiation,pure zirconium wire can maintain excellent physical and chemical properties without oxidation,embrittlement,deformation and other problems. |
Processing technology
Zirconium wire can be processed through drawing,extrusion and forging processes.Before processing,the material needs to be degassed and surface treated to ensure properties such as material purity and surface finish.

Drawing process
Generally speaking, drawing processing technology can be divided into two major categories:cold drawing processing technology and hot drawing processing technology.
-
Cold drawing processing technology:
Cold drawing processing technology is common in the processing of some carbide alloys,and the materials used should have sufficient plasticity.Generally,when cold drawing is used,the metal material is only subject to rheological or destructive deformation,and its deformation temperature is about 300 to 500°C.Above this temperature,hot drawing processing should be considered.
●Hot drawing processing technology:
Hot drawing processing technology is mainly used to process low plasticity forming materials, such as various stainless steels,austenitic steels,etc.Its processing temperature is several degrees higher than that of cold drawing processing,at 1000 Between ~1200℃,the material must have sufficient thermal strength to be deformed by thermal intensity.
Drawing process features
Drawing processing has the characteristics of high efficiency,low power consumption,and low loss. It can be particularly suitable for processing lower plastic materials,and has high processing accuracy and dimensional accuracy of up to ±0.001mm.
The drawing processing machine has unique automated processing functions,which can realize automatic control and operation functions, effectively improving processing efficiency and reliability.
The processing range of the drawing processing machine can greatly improve the stiffness and strength of the material,process the surface smoothness,and accurately cut the material according to customer requirements,making it easier for the material to meet processing requirements and process technology tolerance requirements.
Drawing process
Drawing processing can be divided into several main processes:pre-processing,drawing processing and post-processing.
In this process,cleaning,plating, grinding and polishing are usually required to ensure the surface quality of the material and the requirements for process processing.
Drawing processing is to use mechanical forceto stretch the material to irreversibly change its shape.
For example,heat treatment,polishing,cleaning,etc.,used to treat and improve the processing surface of the material to meet the usage requirements.
