Zr705, or R60705 zirconium alloy, is an important zirconium-based material. Here are some details about it:


Chemical composition: The main components are zirconium (Zr) and niobium (Nb), of which the niobium content is about 2.5%, and the total content of zirconium and niobium is not less than 95.5%. At the same time, there are strict restrictions on the oxygen content, which generally does not exceed 0.18%. This precise chemical composition ratio gives Zr705 unique properties.

Performance characteristics:
Excellent corrosion resistance: Zr705 shows excellent tolerance in many corrosive media. In various acid, alkali solutions and seawater environments, a dense and stable oxide film can be quickly formed on its surface. This oxide film effectively prevents further corrosion reactions, making Zr705 have important application value in chemical, marine and other fields, such as chemical pipelines and marine engineering equipment. It can resist corrosion for a long time.

Good mechanical properties: It has high strength and certain toughness. Its tensile strength can usually reach more than 550MPa, its yield strength is about 380MPa, and its elongation can reach 16% and above. This enables it to withstand certain mechanical loads and is suitable for manufacturing parts that withstand pressure or tension, such as some structural parts and connectors in mechanical manufacturing.

Moderate physical properties: The density is relatively low, about 6.5g/cm³, which is advantageous in some applications that require weight; the melting point is high, reaching about 1855℃, which enables it to maintain a certain structural stability in high temperature environments and can be used for parts under some high temperature conditions, such as internal components of high temperature furnaces.

Processing characteristics:
High processing difficulty: Since zirconium has a strong affinity with gases such as oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen, oxidation and air absorption are prone to occur during processing, especially in high temperature environments, thus affecting the performance of the material. Therefore, the processing process usually needs to be carried out under vacuum or inert gas protection. For example, in hot processing processes such as welding and smelting, the atmosphere conditions must be strictly controlled to prevent the introduction of impurities.

High requirements for molds: Zr705 has a large friction coefficient with the mold during processing, and it is easy to stick to the mold. This requires the mold surface to have good finish and lubrication performance, and suitable lubricants need to be used during processing to reduce friction, ensure smooth processing and surface quality of the product.

Wide range of applications:
Chemical industry: used to manufacture various corrosion-resistant chemical equipment, such as reactors, heat exchangers, evaporators, pipelines, etc. In chemical production, many media are highly corrosive. The corrosion resistance of Zr705 can ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment, reduce maintenance costs and equipment replacement frequency, and improve production efficiency and safety.

Marine engineering: In view of its resistance to seawater corrosion, it can be applied to offshore platform structural parts, seawater desalination equipment, ship parts, etc. In the harsh marine environment, Zr705 can resist the erosion of seawater, extend the service life of the equipment, and reduce the risk of failure caused by corrosion.

Electronic field: Due to its certain conductivity and good chemical stability, it can be used to manufacture the shell, electrodes and other parts of electronic components, which can protect the internal structure from environmental factors while ensuring the normal operation of electronic components.

Nuclear energy field: Although it is not the core material of nuclear reactors, it is also used in some auxiliary systems and equipment, such as storage and transportation containers for nuclear fuel, nuclear waste treatment equipment, etc. Its good nuclear performance (low neutron absorption cross section) and corrosion resistance make it have certain application potential in the nuclear energy field, which helps to ensure the safe operation of nuclear facilities and the safe management of radioactive materials.
