· JVASP-123451· ZrU

ZrU is an intermetallic compound combining zirconium and uranium, belonging to the refractory metal alloy family. This material is primarily of research and nuclear engineering interest, valued for its high-temperature stability and resistance to thermal cycling in nuclear fuel applications and advanced reactor concepts. Its use is limited to specialized nuclear contexts where the combination of zirconium's corrosion resistance and uranium's nuclear properties offers advantages over conventional zirconium alloys or stainless steels.

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
