Zirconium powder is divided into nuclear grade zirconium powder (stored in water), industrial grade zirconium powder (stored in water) and firearms grade zirconium powder (stored in water).

Applications:

1. Zirconium is corrosion-resistant and is mainly used as sheath material for fuel rods in nuclear reactors as a corrosion-resistant alloy.

2. zirconium is also used in X-ray diffraction instruments and, when molybdenum is used, is used to filter out other unwanted frequencies.

3. Zirconium alloys are commonly used for metal cutting. Zirconium dioxide is the main component of ceramic knives.
