1. A reminder of metallurgy
For further details on extractive metallurgy and the production of Zr and Hf ingots, please refer to
1.1 Safety: pyrophoricity and flammability of Zr and Hf
It's worth recalling here that finely divided Zr and Hf alloys are highly flammable (ignition with minimal energy input), or even pyrophoric (spontaneous ignition). In fact, in divided form (chips, sawdust, powder), these reactive metals have the particularity of igniting more or less easily, depending...
