Technical specifications

Zirconium is distinguished by ductility and plasticity, almost identical to gold. It is a heat-resistant, paramagnetic metal, resistant to sea water, alkali, ammonia, does not lose its properties under cryogenic or high temperatures. As a rule, zirconium is used in an alloy with other metals.

Features of welding

The main methods of welding zirconium are submerged arc welding, inert gas, electron beam and non-consumable electrode. In most cases, preference is given to helium, because this achieves a higher arc power than when welding argon. In addition, the content of harmful impurities can be reduced to the minimum values. When using any of the methods, metal overheating must not be allowed. In order to avoid contamination of the joint, additives are not used. In most cases, butt and lap joints are used without cutting the edges.
