Because zirconium does not absorb neutrons, majority of its supply is used in nuclear power stations. When accompanied by niobium at low temperatures, zirconium becomes superconductive, and is used to make superconductive magnets. Additionally, the chemical industry utilizes zirconium because it has a thin oxide layer that protects the metal from corrosion by acids, alkalis and seawater.
