CORROSION DATA Zirconium's corrosion resistance in nitric acid is exceptional in acid concentrations up to 90% and at temperatures well above the boiling point. Figure 1 gives the 5-mpy iso-corrosion curve for Zirconium in nitric acid. The dotted line indicates that the upper limit line for the 5-mpy corrosion rate has not been established above about 250C or 80% concentration.

The corrosion resistance of titanium alloys can depend on the presence of multivalent impurities for passivation of the surface to reduce corrosion. Zirconium does not require the presence of multivalent ions for its corrosion resistance. Most mixtures of nitric acid and other mineral acids do not pose a problem for zirconium. The corrosion resistance of zirconium in Nitric acid with various impurities is given in table 2. Zirconium can tolerate a
