Description

  What is zirconium Steel composite plate zirconium clad plate?
Zirconium/steel composite plate is a new type of bimetallic composite material in which zirconium is the cladding and steel is the base layer. It combines the advantages of zirconium and steel with the excellent corrosion resistance of zirconium and the strength and stability of steel.

Zirconium/steel composite plate is a kind of material used in construction and engineering structures, with a steel plate as the base layer, pickled zirconium/steel composite plate or tailor-welded zirconium/steel composite plate as the cladding layer, and explosively welded method to connect the two boards.

Features of zirconium Steel composite plate zirconium clad plate:

Strong corrosion resistance: Because zirconium can react with oxygen in the air to generate a dense passivation film at room temperature, zirconium/steel composite plate has better corrosion resistance than stainless steel, titanium, and nickel alloys for most of the organic and inorganic acids, strong bases, molten salts, and other media.

Good mechanical properties and thermal conductivity: the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of zirconium and steel are better, making zirconium/steel composite plates have a broad application prospect in the fields of pressure vessels, heat exchanger tube plates, tower components, and pipelines.


Resource-saving and cost reduction: zirconium/steel composite plates prepared by explosion welding technology can comprehensively utilize the advantages of zirconium, steel, stainless steel, tantalum, and titanium, thus reducing the material price and improving the material strength.

In terms of application, zirconium/steel composite plate is mainly used for high-end zirconium and zirconium alloy composite plates in large-scale chemical and nuclear industries projects to meet special corrosion-resistant requirements. In addition, it can also be used to manufacture pressure vessels, pipelines, and other fields with excellent corrosion resistance and high strength properties.

Enhanced performance: The zirconium layer gives corrosion resistance, while the steel core provides structural integrity and durability.
Lightweight: The steel substrate provides strength without significantly increasing the weight compared to pure zirconium.
Mechanical strength: Steel adds tensile strength and resistance to mechanical stresses, which zirconium alone may not provide.
Cost-effective: Steel is significantly cheaper than pure zirconium, so clad plates reduce the overall cost.

 

FAQs of zirconium Steel composite plate zirconium clad plate:

Q:What are the benefits of using a Zirconium-Steel Clad Plate over a solid zirconium plate?

A:Hot rolling: Both metals are rolled at high temperatures to form the desired thickness.
Diffusion bonding: The two materials are heated to a point where atoms from each metal diffuse into one another to form a bond.
Explosive bonding: A high-energy explosion bonds the two metals.
Roll bonding: The steel and zirconium are pressed together at high temperatures.

Zirconium-Steel Clad Plates are produced through several bonding methods

Q:How are Zirconium-Steel Clad Plates manufactured?

A:Zirconium is highly valued for its excellent corrosion resistance, especially in acidic or high-temperature environments. It is also highly resistant to damage from radiation, making it ideal for nuclear applications. The steel base provides strength and durability, while the zirconium layer ensures resistance to corrosive conditions.
 

Q:Why is zirconium used for cladding over other materials?

A:Aerospace and defense (in certain high-stress, high-temperature conditions)
Heat exchangers (due to high temperature and corrosion resistance)
Chemical processing (for equipment exposed to corrosive environments)
Nuclear industry (e.g., fuel cladding for reactors)

Zirconium-Steel Clad Plates are primarily used in applications where high corrosion resistance is required
