Production Overview

Zirconium 705 alloys are high-performance materials composed primarily of zirconium with alloying elements such as niobium and trace amounts of nickel, cobalt, chromium, and molybdenum.

These alloys are widely used in nuclear power, aerospace, and chemical industries due to their excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, and radiation shielding properties.

Zr705 rods offer a combination of mechanical durability and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for demanding environments such as:

Cladding for nuclear fuel rods

Pressure vessels and heat exchangers

Aerospace exhaust systems and high-temperature components

Zirconium 705 rod (UNS R60705) is a commercially pure zirconium alloy (≥99.2% purity), with 2–3% niobium added to improve mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.

It is also commonly used in medical implants, chemical processing equipment, and marine applications.
