Zirconium Wire Mesh for Nuclear Industry Neutron Absorber 0.2mm Wire Diameter
Product Spotlights
Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory, a trusted manufacturer since 1998, proudly presents our Zirconium Wire Mesh for Nuclear Industry Neutron Absorber with a precise 0.2mm wire diameter. This high-performance mesh is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of nuclear applications, offering exceptional neutron absorption capabilities and corrosion resistance. Our decades of expertise in wire mesh production ensure consistent quality, making this product a reliable choice for critical safety systems in nuclear power plants and research facilities.
The zirconium material exhibits a low thermal neutron capture cross-section while effectively absorbing thermal neutrons when alloyed with hafnium or other elements. This wire mesh is designed to serve as a neutron absorber in control rods, shielding, and spent fuel storage racks. With a wire diameter of just 0.2mm, the mesh provides a fine structure that maximizes surface area and neutron interaction, while maintaining mechanical integrity under high-temperature and high-radiation environments.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- High-Purity Zirconium: Manufactured from high-grade zirconium (Zr ≥ 99.2%) to ensure minimal impurities and consistent neutron absorption performance.
- Precision 0.2mm Wire Diameter: Ultra-fine wires allow for tight mesh openings, enhancing neutron capture efficiency without compromising flow or structural support.
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Zirconium is highly resistant to corrosion in water, steam, and acidic environments, making it suitable for long-term use in nuclear reactor conditions.
- Customizable Weave Patterns: Available in plain weave or twill weave, with optional double crimp for added stability. Mesh openings from 0.05mm to 2mm can be customized.
- Thermal Stability: Withstands temperatures up to 400°C (752°F) without significant degradation, ensuring reliable performance in reactor core environments.
- Low Maintenance: The dense structure and durable material reduce the need for frequent replacement, lowering operational costs.
