Zirconium 705 (Zr705) is alloyed with Niobium 2.0% to 3.0%. When corrosion conditions permit, Zr 705 rod is more economical to be used as shell for pressure vessel construction, because its higher strength makes thinner wall thickness design allowable, which can greatly reduce the material consumption. Zr705 has higher formability than Zr702 because it is easier to press into shape in the processing due to its high tensile strength.

Zirconium R60705 rod is a solid zirconium alloy product made from UNS R60705(Zr-2.5Nb), processed by forging, rolling, or extrusion. It is mainly supplied as round rods, with square and hexagonal options available.
With approximately 2.5% niobium addition, it offers medium strength and excellent corrosion resistance, and is commonly used in chemical equipment, and pressure vessel applications.
USA Grade: ZrR60705, ASTM B550
Rod form: Round rods, square rods, and hexagonal rods, manufactured through processes such as hot rolling, forging, and cold drawing, are among the most basic profiles of zirconium materials.
