Powder Metals Data Sheets
Zirconium Powder
ATI Wah Chang produces zirconium powder in
a variety of compositions: pure zirconium with < 2000 ppm
hafnium, commercially pure zirconium with < 4.5% hafnium.
As with the titanium, all powder is produced via the hydride/dehydride
process from vacuum melt refined stock removing halogens,
light metals, and other low boiling contaminants. All powders
are available either as dehydride or hydride. Please refer
to the general description of powder properties.
All of these products are amenable to traditional powder metallurgy
processes. Aside from powder metallurgy manufacture of near
net shape components, applications include but are not limited
to :pyrotechnics, gettering, thermal spraying, alloy additions,
proprietary compounds. Certain other alloys are available
upon inquiry.
