Zirconium Plate
Zirconium plate and sheet for severe corrosion service, chemical equipment, and specialty engineered parts.
Zirconium plate is typically reviewed for aggressive chemical environments where material compatibility and service life are critical. Supply is organized by grade, thickness, size, condition, surface, and inspection documentation.
Sourcing data for zirconium plate.
| Typical forms | Plate, sheet, cut piece, machined blank |
|---|---|
| Thickness range | Custom thickness by project review |
| Size range | Cut-to-size supply based on drawing or requirement |
| Common grades | Zr702, Zr705, UNS R60702, UNS R60705 |
| Reference standards | ASTM B551 / project specification |
| Condition | Annealed or project-defined condition |
Select the grade for the service conditions.
Use these as selection starting points. Final choice depends on the drawing, governing specification, service conditions, and qualification requirements.
| Grade | Typical selection logic | Confirm before quotation |
|---|---|---|
| Zr 702 / UNS R60702 | Commercial zirconium grade used for corrosion-resistant chemical-process equipment and components. | Process media, concentration, temperature, product form, fabrication route, and specification. |
| Zr 705 / UNS R60705 | Niobium-alloyed zirconium considered when higher strength is required for a defined service. | Strength requirement, corrosion basis, welding or forming route, heat treatment, and specification. |
Three items to prevent specification gaps.
Confirm dimensions together with grade, condition, tolerances, quantity, and inspection scope.
Dimensions and tolerance
State finished thickness, width, length, quantity, dimensional tolerance, flatness expectation, and whether the order is full plate, rectangular blanks, or drawing-based parts.
Condition and surface
Specify annealed or other required condition, mill or project-defined surface, edge condition, and restrictions related to forming, welding, machining, or appearance.
Inspection and documents
Specify the governing standard, certificate type, heat or lot traceability, dimensional records, testing scope, third-party inspection, marking, and packing.
Match plate & sheet supply to the application.
End use determines the grade, condition, dimensional control, surface preparation, testing, traceability, and downstream fabrication route.
Chemical processing
Material selection requires the actual process media, concentration, temperature, pressure, impurities, fabrication route, and corrosion-design basis.
Review application detailsHigh-purity process equipment
Define cleanliness, surface condition, dimensional control, joining route, traceability, and contamination-sensitive handling requirements.
Review application detailsMarine and severe corrosion service
Suitability depends on the complete environment, temperature, stresses, crevice conditions, fabrication details, and applicable project specification.
Review application detailsSpecialty engineered components
Provide the drawing, load case, service environment, product standard, qualification plan, and required records before finalizing the supply route.
Review application detailsDefine inspection and documentation before production.
Align document requirements with the production lot, inspection plan, marking, and final records.
- Material identity and heat or lot traceability aligned with the delivered plates, sheets, or blanks when required
- Chemical and mechanical results checked against the specified product standard when required
- Thickness, width, length, flatness, surface, and edge checks agreed for the order
- Certificate type, additional testing, witness points, marking, and packing confirmed before order release
Frequently asked questions about zirconium plate.
What is the difference between Zr702 and Zr705?
Zr702 is unalloyed zirconium; Zr705 adds niobium for higher strength while keeping strong hydrochloric acid resistance.
Which standard covers zirconium plate?
Zirconium plate is supplied to ASTM B551, with UNS R60702 (Zr702) and UNS R60705 (Zr705).
Is zirconium plate used in nuclear applications?
Zirconium has a low thermal neutron cross-section, which makes it a fit for selected nuclear and high-purity applications.
