Hafnium: Relationships

Every element and industry that Hafnium is linked to, and how. Each pair has its own card explaining the relationships between the two.

  • Zirconium: Hafnium has no ore of its own: it is the impurity stripped out of zirconium to make nuclear-grade metal, so hafnium supply depends on how much dehafniated zirconium the nuclear industry orders. (researched)
  • Aerospace and defence: Aerospace and defence depends on hafnium.
  • Nuclear fission reactors: Nuclear fission reactors needs hafnium.
  • Semiconductors: Semiconductors depends on hafnium.
