The oxidation behaviour of transition metal diboride ceramics is reviewed with emphasis on the performance of zirconium diboride and hafnium diboride. First, the oxidation behaviour of nominally pure diborides is discussed, focusing on the transition to linear mass gain kinetics at temperatures above ∼1100°C.Web
Zirconium and hafnium are corrosion-resistant metals that are widely used in the chemical and nuclear industries. Most zirconium is consumed in the form of the main ore mineral zircon (ZrSiO 4, or as zirconium oxide or other zirconium chemicals. Zirconium and hafnium are both refractory lithophile elements that have nearly identical charge ...Web
The Zirconium and Hafnium concentrations in worldwide fumaroles fed by magmatic fluids reveal that the Zr/Hf ratio is inversely related to the temperature of emission. Lower Zr/Hf ratio values below the chondritic signature are found in fluids having the highest temperature while super-chondritic Zr/Hf ratio values are found in lower temperatures.Web
The hafnium and zirconium are precipitated with cupferron, ignited, and weighed as HfO 2 and ZrO 2. The procedure for samples containing less than 20 percent of zirconium requires approximately 3 days to carry to completion, as about 12 hr are required for the ion-exchange separation, and the remaining time is required for dissolving the sample ...Web

Global supply of pure hafnium metal — as needed by the aerospace industry — is estimated at just 70-75t/yr. Production is concentrated in just four countries — France, the US, China and Russia. It is also a by-product of zirconium but given that 50t of zirconium is needed to get just 1t of hafnium, an attractive hafnium price will not ...Web

The element zirconium is a very strong but soft, malleable metal. Zirconium is a lustrous silver metal with the chemical symbol Zr. It is highly resistant to corrosion and heat. Zirconium is a ductile metal and as a fine powder is highly flammable. Zirconium is almost always found paired with the element hafnium (Hf).Web
