Descriptions of Zirconium Sheet
Zirconium 702 plate is a plate made from an alloy of zirconium,
typically containing around 95% zirconium, 4% niobium, and 1% other
elements, such as iron and chromium.
Zirconium 702 plate is used in a variety of applications such as
nuclear reactors, chemical processing, and medical implants.
UNS R60702 sheet is highly corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for
use in environments where other metals may quickly corrode or
degrade.
Its low thermal conductivity also makes it ideal for use in
applications where heat dissipation is a concern, such as
electronic components and power plants.
UNS R60702 plate is typically used in the form of sheets, but can
also be machined into other shapes and sizes.
Zirconium sheet is a type of metal sheet made from zirconium, a
highly corrosion-resistant metal.
Zirconium sheet is used for a variety of applications, including
nuclear reactors, chemical processing, aerospace, and medical
equipment.
Zirconium plate can be produced in a variety of thicknesses,
ranging from 0.001 to 0.020 inch (0.025 to 0.508 mm).
Zirconium plate can also be produced with a variety of surface
finishes, including polished, anodized, etched, and sandblasted.
Zirconium 702 sheet is often used to create custom components, as
it can be easily machined and formed into any desired shape.

Applications of Zirconium plate
Zirconium plate is used in a variety of applications, including
chemical processing, medical imaging, and nuclear power.
In chemical processing, zirconium plate is used as a catalyst
support in the production of ethylene and other organic compounds.
In medical imaging, zirconium sheet is used as a radiation shield
to reduce patient exposure to X-rays and other radiation.
In nuclear power, zirconium sheet is used as a cladding material on
the nuclear fuel rods to contain the uranium fuel and prevent it
from leaking.
Electronics: Zirconium 702 sheet is used to make semiconductors and
capacitors due to its high electrical resistance.
Automotive: UNS R60702 Sheet is used to make automotive exhaust
systems, brake pads, and catalytic converters due to its
heat-resistant properties.
Ceramics: Zirconium 702 plate is used to make ceramic tiles and
refractories due to its high temperature resistance.
