Known for its precision engineering and unwavering commitment to quality, the company delivers high-performance zirconium products designed to meet the rigorous demands of various industries. With state-of-the-art production facilities and stringent quality control measures, Aung Metals guarantees exceptional purity, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength in every item they produce. Catering to clients throughout Myanmar and beyond, Aung Metals is recognized for its dependability, prompt delivery, and technical know-how in providing zirconium materials for both industrial and scientific uses.
Zirconium Bars and Rods are primarily made from high-purity zirconium (Zr ≥ 99.2%), with small amounts of hafnium, iron, oxygen, and nitrogen. These elements enhance the material’s impressive corrosion resistance and mechanical stability. Zirconium boasts a tensile strength ranging from 330 to 580 MPa, a yield strength between 200 and 400 MPa, and an elongation of 16 to 30%. With a melting point of about 1855°C, it also exhibits excellent ductility and formability. These mechanical properties make zirconium an ideal choice for applications that require strength, heat resistance, and long-lasting performance in challenging environments.

Yes, Zirconium bars can be welded. It requires specialized techniques such as gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) to ensure good weld quality, as it is highly reactive at elevated temperatures.
To maintain zirconium rods, keep them clean and free of contaminants. Store in a dry, cool environment. Avoid mechanical damage and ensure proper handling to prevent oxidation or corrosion.
Zirconium bars are generally resistant to galvanic corrosion due to their high corrosion resistance properties. However, when paired with more reactive metals, galvanic corrosion may still occur.
Zirconium Bars and Rods find extensive use in industries that require outstanding corrosion and heat resistance. In the nuclear sector, they are utilized as cladding material for fuel rods, thanks to zirconium’s low neutron absorption. In the chemical and petrochemical industries, they are employed in reactors, heat exchangers, and piping systems that come into contact with aggressive acids and alkalis. The aerospace and marine sectors also rely on zirconium for structural and precision components. Moreover, zirconium’s biocompatibility makes it a great fit for medical implants and surgical instruments, while its durability is advantageous in electronics, optics, and advanced manufacturing processes.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
