ASTM B550Zr-4 nuclear-grade zirconium crucible 30ml

Baoji Freelong New Material Technology Development Co., Ltd. loated in Baoji City--China's Titanium Valley,we are mainly doing Zirconium,Titanium,Nickel,Niobium,Tantalum etc metal material and other alloy's produce,OEM and Sales.and also exporting the goods what we make. we have a lot of trustful clients and partner.and also we were authority by some firms.At present,we were build our relationship with Australia,Korea,German,US,UK,Malaysia,AZ,Middle East,Taiwan,Etc. Our company always take the quality and service as our responsibility,We always get close even match the quality what our customer wanted and as for quality,we never say no and no reason for quality failure.

I. Product Description:
Zirconium crucibles offer excellent resistance to high temperatures and highly corrosive chemicals, making them an ideal, cost-effective alternative to platinum crucibles for laboratories.
These crucibles are engineered for durability and high performance in fusion sample preparation processes. Made from high-purity zirconium, they exhibit exceptional corrosion and thermal shock resistance, helping to ensure consistent analytical results.

Grades: Zr702, Zr705, R60001, R60901

Capacity: 5–50 ml (custom fabrication based on drawings available)

Types: Low-form, flanged, straight-wall, tapered-wall, and cylindrical

Surface Finish: Bright/Polished

Wall Thickness: 1 mm, 2 mm, or customizable

Service Life: Crucibles with 2 mm wall thickness offer a longer service life than thin-walled versions and can be reused over 100 times.
• Highly resistant to most reagents
• Soluble in hydrofluoric acid
• Withstands temperatures up to 900°C
Low-form crucibles are made of zirconium alloy with a thickness of 0.89 mm. Oxidation begins upon prolonged exposure to air at temperatures above 550°C. Not recommended for use with fluoroboric acid or fluorosilicic acid. Suitable for high-temperature fusion using the reducing flame of a burner.

Core Physicochemical Properties (Unique Advantages for Nuclear Operation)

1. Extremely Low Neutron Absorption Cross Section

Zirconium's thermal neutron capture cross section is far lower than that of titanium, molybdenum, stainless steel, and graphite. It does not absorb neutrons and inhibit nuclear reactions, making it the only high-temperature crucible substrate suitable for nuclear fuel and irradiation experiments.

2. Ultra-High Temperature Stability

Melting point 1852℃, long-term stable operating temperature ≤1700℃; low coefficient of linear expansion, strong thermal shock resistance, no cracking or deformation even after repeated temperature rises and falls.

3. Ultimate Chemical Inertness + Radiation Corrosion Resistance

Surface self-passivation The ZrO₂ protective film is resistant to concentrated nitric acid, strong alkalis, molten uranium oxide, rare earth molten salts, and radioactive waste liquids; it does not undergo solid-phase reactions with uranium, plutonium, rare earth, or zirconium alloy melts at high temperatures, preventing material contamination; only hydrofluoric acid systems cause slight corrosion.

4. Irradiation Stable, No Activation Impurities

The high-purity formula produces fewer activation products and has a shorter half-life after irradiation, facilitating post-processing of nuclear waste; it prevents carbon contamination from graphite crucibles and silicon impurity precipitation from alumina crucibles.

5. Mechanical and Processing Properties

Density 6.51 g/cm³, moderate weight for easy transport; forgeable, spin-formed, and precision CNC machined with a dimensional tolerance of ±0.1 mm; inner wall mirror polishing Ra≤0.2 μm; molten material does not stick to the wall, discharges completely, and is easy to clean.
