Zirconium Wire for TC

[jesseseetai]

I've seen some people talking about Zirconium as a better alternative to Titanium. It has the same biocompatible properties and it is also more corrosion resistant than Ti and doesn't form harmful oxide if over heated. The TCR is also pretty close... Ti .0036 vs Zirconium .0044

would love some metallurgists to chime in and see what they think.

i like the higher tcr. that's cool. i'm interested to learn more as well. at first read, i thought it would be like vaping on a fake diamond. ha

Is zirconium as springy as titanium?

I'm not sure... but the titanium I have used so far isn't springy, but I know that some is really springy. I think it just depends on how it is annealed
