As a exotic metal with unique physical and chemical corrosion resistance, zirconium has been widely used in special rigorous process and boasts irreplaceable applications in nuclear industry, aerospace, aviation and civil chemical industry.
Zirconium also has excellent corrosion resistance that other materials can't compare, especially being able to stay stable when reducing hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid and acetic acid above 100°C termperature. Its corrosion resistance is one to several levels higher than that of nickel alloy. Therefore, zirconium valves are widely used in severe corrosion conditions in civil industry.
