Zirconium

 

        – .040″ x 12″ x 6″

 

Zirconium is like CP titanium in the way it works.  It is softer then 6al-4v.  The material is softer to cut but creates a bright, whiter spark then Titanium. It is more flammable then Titanium.  Anodizes just as well as titanium. The biggest difference is when you heat color it, you get a blackish color to it.

 

* If you are building a Liner Lock folder then you can use it on both sides for your scales.

     

* If you are building a frame lock you can use it on your bolsters and on the frame side not locking side since it is not springy like 6al-4v.

 

IMPORTANT: FLAMMABLE!!! You really have to watch out when sawing that the chips don’t catch fire.  Make sure there are no piles of shavings around your work area, can create a fire.
