Zirconiated
Zirconiated refers to materials or substances that have been treated with or incorporate zirconium. This can occur in various contexts, primarily related to the properties and applications of zirconium-containing compounds. One common example is zirconiated crucibles, which are used in high-temperature applications like metallurgy and glass manufacturing. These crucibles are made from materials that have been enhanced with zirconium oxide (zirconia) to improve their resistance to heat, chemical attack, and thermal shock.
In welding, zirconiated electrodes are used in tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding. These electrodes contain a
The term can also be applied to alloys where zirconium is a significant component, imparting specific characteristics
