Segment by Type
Hafnium Sponge
Hafnium Crystal Bar
Others
Hafnium sponge is a high purity, coarse powdered or granular form of iridium metal with high porosity. Hafnium metal sponge is typically 3~25mm and has a wide variety of uses including functioning as an oxygen getter and catalyst.
Hafnium Crystal Bars are rod shaped bars of varying sizes that have a distinct light blue coloring. They are formed through the iodide process, in which impure hafnium is heated within an evacuated vessel with a halogen at temperatures up to 250°C.

Segment by Application
Super Alloy
Nuclear
Plasma Cutting
Others
When used in relatively small amounts, hafnium strengthens the grain boundaries of nickel-based super-alloys and high temperature alloys, improving the creep ductility and rupture lifetime. It is extensively used in a number of alloys that find use in the hot end of jet engines. Hafnium has an extremely high affinity for oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon, and is one of the most effective solid-solution strengtheners via dispersion strengthening.
Hafnium is an excellent neutron absorber used in nuclear control rods to regulate the power in a reactor.
Hafnium is ideal as highest metal melting point in periodic table and conducts electricity, it can operate at high temperatures.
