The pure zirconia powder NMD Metalpowders is a metal powder designed for demanding industrial and scientific applications. Its high purity makes it a raw material for processes in which the chemical composition and a specific powder quality are crucial.
In its compact form, zirconium (Zr) is characterised by good corrosion resistance. Finely divided zirconium powder, on the other hand, is highly reactive. Therefore, in addition to purity, particle size, particle shape and the intended processing method are also key factors in the selection process.
Technical properties
- Material: Pure metallic zirconium (Zr).
- Purity: The zirconium content and the accompanying elements present depend on the relevant product specification.
- Particle structure: Particle size and shape influence the dosage, reactivity and processing of the powder.
- Corrosion resistance: The compact metal exhibits good resistance in suitable media; this depends on the operating conditions.
- Reactivity: Particularly pronounced in its finely dispersed form and suitable for certain technical applications.
The appropriate powder grade is selected on the basis of your technical requirements. For storage and processing, the information contained in the safety data sheet for the supplied product is authoritative.
Applications
Pyrotechnic applications
Due to its high reactivity, zirconium powder is used in industrial pyrotechnics, for example to create intense light effects. Its suitability depends on the specific quality of the powder and the requirements of the intended application.
Additive manufacturing
Zirconia powder can be used for specialised applications in the additive manufacturing and are used in materials development. This makes it possible to produce complex component geometries. This requires a particle size distribution and grain shape suitable for the process, as well as expert process control.
Surface coatings
Zirconium powder is used as a raw material for metallic Surface coatings under consideration. Such coatings can improve the corrosion and wear resistance of components. The properties that can be achieved depend on the coating process, the base material and the quality of the coating produced.
Sintering processes
In powder metallurgy, zirconium powder can be used to produce Sintered moulded parts process. Powder purity, particle size distribution and process control influence the compaction and the mechanical properties of the finished components.
Advantages of the product
- High reactivity: Suitable for pyrotechnic and other specialised technical applications.
- Corrosion-resistant material base: Of interest for components and coatings under suitable operating conditions.
- Selection of materials based on application: Purity and particle properties can be specifically tailored to meet process requirements.
- Versatile application possibilities: From industrial applications to the development of new materials and manufacturing processes.
Sustainability and efficiency
A powder quality tailored to the process can help to reduce scrap and material losses. The key factors are selecting the right material for the job and ensuring reproducible processing conditions. Whether residual powder can be reused depends on its condition and the quality requirements of the process.
