Product description

Hafnium Plate refers to a plate made of the metallic element hafnium (Hf). Hafnium is a transition metal with a silvery white appearance and similar chemical properties to zirconium, but its atomic number is 72, which is higher than zirconium. It is less abundant in the earth's crust and often appears together with zirconium. Due to the similar chemical properties of the two elements, the separation and purification process is complicated and difficult.

Features of hafnium plates include:

1. High melting point: The melting point of hafnium is about 2233°C, making it suitable for use in high temperature environments.
2. Good neutron absorption capacity: Hafnium has a high capture cross-section for thermal neutrons, so it is used as a control rod material or neutron absorber in the nuclear industry.
3. Corrosion resistance: Hafnium exhibits excellent corrosion resistance properties, especially in high temperatures and harsh chemical environments.
4. Biocompatibility: Certain hafnium alloys have good biocompatibility with human tissue, making them suitable for use in medical devices.

Applications for hafnium plates may involve:

Nuclear industry: used as control rods or neutron shielding materials to regulate neutron flux in nuclear reactors.
Medical technology: In medical devices where biocompatibility and corrosion resistance are required, such as certain types of implantable devices.
Aerospace: In aerospace components that require high temperature resistance, lightweight and sufficient strength.
Chemical equipment: In chemical processes that require resistance to harsh environments such as strong acids and alkalis, hafnium materials can be used as reactors and pipelines.

Because hafnium is a rare, high-value material, its applications are generally limited to those areas where there are special needs for its unique properties. The specific application of hafnium plate will depend on its specification, purity and type of alloy with other elements.
