Metallographic Techniques for Zirconium and Zirconium Alloys

From ATI Wah Chang
 

 

Teledyne Wah Chang Albany (TWCA) is a major supplier of zirconium, hafnium, niobium, titanium and vanadium metals and their alloys. Commercial application of these products ranges from the use of Zircaloy as a structural material for the core of nuclear power reactors, zirconium for acid-resistant applications in the chemical process industry, and titanium for aerospace, to niobium for superconductor wire filaments, and for high temperature rocket nozzles.

Products & Services
Nonferrous metals and nonferrous alloys are not based on iron and include alloys of aluminum, copper, titanium, zinc, nickel, cobalt, tungsten, precious metals, refractory metals. Learn more about Nonferrous Metals and Alloys
Master alloys and alloying additives are alloy element concentrates, grain refiners, hardeners, deoxidants and other agents added into a melt or metal powder blend to produce a particular alloy, modify a melt or alter processing characteristics. Learn more about Master Alloys and Alloying Additives
Tungsten and tungsten alloys are refractory metal or alloys with a very high melting point and high density. Tungsten and tungsten alloys are used to fabricate light bulb filaments, PVD evaporation crucibles, EDM electrodes, and electrical contacts.
