Overview
Zircaloy and related zirconium grades valued for low neutron absorption and corrosion resistance in nuclear and chemical plant.
IMS handles zirconium alloys as both prime material and as arisings recovered from industrial processing. Material is sorted and segregated by grade, so it returns to the melt as a known specification rather than a mixed stream.
