Zircaloy-4 20μm-63μm
Zircaloy-4 is a specialized alloy composed of zirconium with small additions of tin, iron, and chromium, offering excellent corrosion resistance and strength in high-temperature environments. Primarily used in the nuclear industry for its low neutron absorption, this powder is ideal for manufacturing fuel cladding and other components that require high durability and stability. Its exceptional performance under extreme conditions makes it a key material in applications like reactors and nuclear fuel systems.
