Zirconium

Zirconium is a grayish silver, dense, ductile, very hard, easily fabricated, and highly corrosion resistant metal. It is part of the refractory metals group and occurs naturally in the mineral tantalite, always together with the chemically niobium. Commercial-quality zirconium for most uses still has a content of 1% to 3% hafnium. Zirconium is widely used in the chemical industry where corrosive agents are used. Also, due to its excellent high temperature properties, coupled with its low neutron absorption, it is used in the construction of nuclear reactors. The pure zirconium metal is also used as a lining in jet engines. Zirconium products are widely used as an alloying element, the resultant alloys having improved mechanical properties.
