Astm B550 Zirconium Alloy Bars

ASTM B550 Zirconium Alloy Bars

LINHUI TITANIUM specializes in manufacturing high-performance ASTM B550 Zirconium Alloy Bars backed by 21 years of metallurgical expertise. Operating two advanced factories with 30 production lines, we deliver precision-engineered zirconium bars meeting strict international standards. Our system quality is certified by ISO/SGS/TÜV, ensuring every bar undergoes rigorous testing. With an annual production capacity of 800 tons, we support global industries through flexible delivery via DHL, FEDEX, air freight, or sea freight. Each ASTM B550 Zirconium Alloy Bar features full traceability documentation and third-party inspection approval.

Key Features & Benefits

Our zirconium alloy bars offer exceptional corrosion resistance in harsh chemical environments where stainless steel fails. You get superior performance in high-temperature applications up to 550°C with maintained structural integrity.

The material resists pitting and stress corrosion cracking in chloride-rich media. You benefit from extended service life and reduced maintenance costs in aggressive acid and alkali processing.

Specifications For Astm B550 Zirconium Alloy Bars

Manufacturing Process

We start with vacuum arc remelting (VAR) to eliminate impurities and ensure homogeneous alloy structure. The ingots undergo multiple hot forging cycles between 750°C–950°C to refine grain structure.

Cold drawing operations achieve precise dimensional tolerances. Your bars receive controlled annealing at 650°C–750°C to optimize mechanical properties and stress relief.

Final machining includes centerless grinding for tight diameter control. Every bar passes dimensional inspection and surface quality checks before packaging.

Quality Inspection

· Chemical Analysis: ICP-OES verification against ASTM B550 requirements

· Mechanical Testing: Tensile strength, yield strength, elongation per specification

· Ultrasonic Testing: 100% UT inspection for internal soundness

· Dimensional Check: CMM measurement ensuring tolerance compliance

· Surface Examination: Visual and dye penetrant inspection

· Documentation: Mill Test Certificate (EN 10204 3.1) with full traceability

Applications

You can rely on our bars for chemical processing equipment including reactors, heat exchangers, and piping systems. They perform excellently in nuclear fuel reprocessing and radioactive waste handling.

The aerospace industry uses them for structural components requiring high strength-to-weight ratios. Medical device manufacturers choose them for surgical instruments and implantable components due to biocompatibility.
