Zirconium Wire
Zirconium wire for corrosion-resistant mesh, specialty components, and demanding chemical-service programs.
Zirconium wire is reviewed by grade, diameter, condition, surface, package format, and inspection documentation for aggressive media, mesh, and specialty engineered assemblies.
Sourcing data for zirconium wire.
| Typical forms | Spool, coil, straight wire, cut length |
|---|---|
| Diameter range | 0.1-6.0 mm typical request range |
| Length / package | Spool, coil, bundle, or custom cut |
| Common grades | Zr702, Zr705, UNS R60702, UNS R60705 |
| Reference standards | ASTM B550 / 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.
Diameter and delivery form
State finished diameter, tolerance, quantity, coil, spool, straight length, or cut-piece format, and any straightness or cast requirements.
Temper and surface
Specify annealed, cold-worked, or project-defined condition, surface finish, cleanliness, lubricants, and downstream forming, welding, or mesh requirements.
Package and documents
Define spool or coil dimensions, unit weight, governing standard, certificate type, heat or lot traceability, testing, marking, and export packing.
Match wire 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 spools, coils, straight lengths, or cut pieces when required
- Chemical and mechanical results checked against the specified product standard when required
- Diameter, tolerance, surface, delivery form, spool or coil format, and unit-weight checks agreed for the order
- Certificate type, additional testing, marking, contamination control, and packing confirmed before order release
Frequently asked questions about zirconium wire.
Which zirconium wire grades do you supply?
Zr702, Zr705, UNS R60702, and UNS R60705, from 0.1 mm to 6.0 mm diameter.
Which standard covers zirconium wire?
ASTM B550 or project specification.
What is zirconium wire used for?
Corrosion-resistant mesh, filtration, chemical processing fixtures, and engineered wire-form components.
Custom processing around the drawing.
Send target dimensions, tolerances, surface, package format, and inspection requirements so the production route can be reviewed before quotation.
Wire drawing → Intermediate annealing → Final annealing → Surface cleaning → Spooling → Inspection
Wire drawing → Annealing → Straightening → Cut-to-length → Surface cleaning → Inspection
