Materials
Euro Steel buys and sells zirconium and zirconium alloys, both as semi-finished products and as production scrap, for steelworks, foundries and machine shops in the petrochemical, aerospace and Oil & Gas sectors, in Italy and abroad. We specialise in high nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloys such as vacuum superalloys, but we handle materials and alloys of many different compositions.
Zirconium Alloys
Zirconium alloys: buying and selling pure zirconium and Zr-Nb
Zirconium alloys stand out for exceptional corrosion resistance in acids and aggressive environments, and for their low neutron absorption cross-section. They are used in the chemical industry, in heat exchangers and in the nuclear sector.
Which zirconium alloys Euro Steel buys and sells
The table above shows the indicative composition of the grades we buy and sell: Zr 10 (commercially pure), Zr-Nb, Zr 20, Zr 30, Zr 40 and Zr 42.
Zirconium alloys semi-finished products and scrap
We supply zirconium alloys as prime and secondary-grade semi-finished products: bars and special forgings, plates and flat products and pipes. We also buy production scrap and turnings to feed back into the supply chain. Every batch is checked with XRF and spectrometric analysis in our laboratory in Roncadelle (Brescia, Italy), and certificates are available on request.
Frequently asked questions about zirconium alloys
Where can I buy zirconium and Zr-Nb alloys in Italy?
Euro Steel buys and sells commercially pure zirconium and zirconium alloys, and ships across Italy and abroad.

Does Euro Steel buy zirconium scrap and turnings?
Yes. Euro Steel buys zirconium production scrap from machine shops and industry, then sorts and analyses it and feeds it back into the metal supply chain as secondary raw material.
Why is zirconium used in chemical plants?
Zirconium is highly resistant to acids such as hydrochloric, sulphuric and nitric acid, which makes it suitable for reactors, piping and heat exchangers in corrosive service.
