Zirconium Vanadium Cobalt Alloy (ZrVCo (45:45:10 at%))-Granules

Zirconium Vanadium Cobalt Alloy (ZrVCo (45:45:10 at%))-Granules introduce:

Characteristic




A zirconium alloy is a solid solution of zirconium or other metals.Zirconium has a very low thermal neutron absorption cross section, high hardness, ductility and corrosion resistance.




Nuclear grade zirconium alloys typically consist of over 95% zirconium and less than 2% tin, niobium, iron, chromium, nickel and other metals, which are added to improve mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.




Application




Zirconium alloys are primarily used in nuclear technology, such as fuel rods in nuclear reactors.




The zirconium alloy is resistant to corrosion and biocompatible, so it can be used in implants. Medically, Zr-2.5 Nb alloy can be made into knee or hip implants. This zirconium alloy material can reduce friction and increase wear resistance while maintaining overall performance (manufacturability, fracture toughness and ductility), providing a good solution for medical implants.
