Zr702 zirconium tube is an alloy tubular material made of metal zirconium and other metals. Due to the excellent properties and corrosion resistance of zirconium, zirconium alloy tubes are often used in fuel assemblies and internal structures of water-cooled reactors, and are important materials. Pure zirconium tubes are mainly used to manufacture chemical equipment, because they are expensive and not much used. The chemical composition of the commonly used zirconium tubes and their uses are shown in the table, among which the amount of zirconium-tin alloy tubes and rods is more.

(1) Zirconium has a strong affinity with gas. It reacts with oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen at about 200, 300 and 400 °C, respectively. The reaction is rapid at higher temperatures, so casting and heat treatment must be carried out in a vacuum furnace. When hot working in the atmosphere, proper protection should be taken and the operating time at high temperature should be shortened.
(2) The friction coefficient between zirconium and the mold is high, and it is easy to adhere to the surface of the mold; the thermal effect of plastic deformation is good, and good lubrication conditions are required during processing.
(3) The processing specification has a more sensitive influence on the performance of the product. Special attention should be paid to controlling the cold working and heat treatment process before the finished product to meet the requirements of use.
(4) The dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the pipe and bar are very high. Therefore, the process equipment should have good precision, and the tooling and mold design and production should be reasonable.
