The forming bonding area of the explosion of the zirconium steel clad plate is generally between the base plate and the clad plate and exists in the transition zone of structure, composition, and performance. It has the remarkable characteristics of plastic deformation, diffusion, melting, and corrugation of metal. The transition zone is generally in the range of 0.01 to 1.00 mm. Its structure and performance are related to the composite process, and also directly affect the degree of bonding and practicability between the substrate and the composite plate.
As a relatively active metal, zirconium is easy to react with other substances, especially hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. An oxide film is formed on the surface of zirconium, and its appearance has a luster similar to that of steel. Zirconium has corrosion resistance and can react with many metals or non-metals to become solid solutions at high temperatures. In addition, the plasticity of zirconium is better than that of other metals, and it can be processed into plates, wires, etc. When heated, zirconium can absorb a large amount of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and other gases, and can be used to make hydrogen storage materials. The corrosion resistance of zirconium is better than that of titanium and is close to that of tantalum and niobium.
Zirconium is a rare metal with amazing corrosion resistance. Also, it has an extremely high melting point and hardness. Because of this characteristic, it is widely used in aerospace, military industry, atomic energy, and other fields. It can be said that he is the most promising metal in the 21st century.
At present, explosive cladding technology is the only reliable technology for the contemporary production of zirconium steel-clad plates. Based on the comprehensive utilization of the advantages of zirconium and steel, the average price of a zirconium-steel composite plate is only 5% to 6% of pure zirconium material. Therefore, it is regarded as a more economical and Practical composite material. For a professional manufacturer, 70% of the estimated value of a pure zirconium container comes from the use of zirconium material. The remaining 30% is the processing fee. If the material of the container is changed from pure zirconium to zirconium steel composite plate, then more than half of the cost can be saved, and the manufacturing of the container can also highlight the economic and resource benefits.
