Isis Metals is a reputable manufacturer and supplier located in Manila, Philippines, focusing on top-notch Zirconium Bars and Rods for both industrial and commercial uses. With a strong dedication to precision engineering and material quality, Isis Metals delivers zirconium products that adhere to global standards. Our zirconium bars and rods are celebrated for their exceptional corrosion resistance, durability, and heat tolerance, making them essential in various sectors, including chemical processing, nuclear power, and aerospace. Isis Metals guarantees a dependable supply, outstanding performance, and competitive pricing, establishing us as a go-to partner for advanced metal material solutions in the Philippines and beyond.
Zirconium Bars and Rods are primarily made of zirconium (Zr ≥ 99.2%), with only trace amounts of hafnium, iron, and oxygen, ensuring high purity and performance. These materials boast impressive tensile strength (around 330–580 MPa), a melting point of 1855°C, and a density of 6.52 g/cm³. They provide remarkable corrosion resistance, especially against acids and alkalis, along with excellent ductility and formability. Zirconium’s low neutron absorption and thermal stability make it perfect for challenging environments that require strength, reliability, and resistance to chemical attacks.

Yes, Zirconium bars can be welded. It requires specialized techniques such as gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) to ensure good weld quality, as it is highly reactive at elevated temperatures.
To maintain zirconium rods, keep them clean and free of contaminants. Store in a dry, cool environment. Avoid mechanical damage and ensure proper handling to prevent oxidation or corrosion.
Zirconium bars are generally resistant to galvanic corrosion due to their high corrosion resistance properties. However, when paired with more reactive metals, galvanic corrosion may still occur.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
