Zirconium 702, also known as Zr-702, is a specific grade of zirconium alloy. Zirconium is a chemical element with the symbol Zr and atomic number 40. It is a lustrous, gray-white, strong transition metal that closely resembles hafnium and is found in various minerals. Zirconium alloys are widely used in the nuclear industry due to their excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. Zirconium 702 is one of the most commonly used grades of zirconium alloy. The “702” in its name refers to its composition: it contains approximately 99.2% zirconium, 0.2% hydrogen, 0.1% iron, 0.05% chromium, and trace amounts of other elements.
