Zirconium is a metal that is strong, ductile and malleable and has similar physical and chemical properties like Titanium. It shows great resistance to corrosion and heat. Zirconium is used in the form of oxide or zirconia. An oxide layer produced on the surface by heat treatment protects the metal from corrosion by acids, alkalis and seawater. It has high fracture toughness, wears resistance, good frictional behaviour and is non-magnetic.
