Zirconium Steel clad plates are composite materials formed by bonding a layer of zirconium to another metal, typically carbon steel or stainless steel. Zirconium offers exceptional resistance to corrosion, especially in environments containing acids and alkalis. When combined with the strength and affordability of a steel base, zirconium clad plates are ideal for industries that require corrosion resistance in aggressive chemical environments. These plates are commonly used in industries such as chemical processing, nuclear power, pharmaceuticals, and desalination.

Zirconium clad plates are extensively used in chemical processing plants, where highly corrosive acids, such as hydrochloric and sulfuric acids, are present. The zirconium layer provides excellent protection against these aggressive chemicals, while the steel base offers structural support. This makes zirconium clad plates ideal for reactors, heat exchangers, and piping systems exposed to strong acids, ensuring long-term durability and safety.
In nuclear power plants, zirconium is commonly used due to its low neutron absorption properties and corrosion resistance, particularly in high-temperature water environments. Zirconium clad plates are used in reactor vessels, piping, and heat exchangers where resistance to both radiation and corrosion is essential. The steel backing provides the necessary mechanical strength, while the zirconium layer ensures protection against radiation-induced corrosion.
The pharmaceutical industry requires equipment that can withstand exposure to highly pure and often corrosive chemicals. Zirconium clad plates are used in reactors, mixing tanks, and storage vessels to ensure that no contamination occurs due to corrosion. The corrosion-resistant zirconium layer ensures the purity of products, while the steel base provides the needed mechanical strength for high-pressure applications.
In desalination plants, where seawater is converted to fresh water, zirconium clad plates are used due to their superior corrosion resistance to chlorides and other salts present in seawater. The zirconium layer protects against corrosion, extending the lifespan of components like heat exchangers and piping, while the steel base offers structural integrity. This combination makes zirconium clad plates suitable for long-term use in aggressive saline environments.
