HAFNIUM PLATE
Hafnium Plate
Hafnium has a strong ability to capture the neutron, making it an excellent material for control rods in nuclear reactors. The nuclear industry roughly consumes half of the Hf produced every year. Hafnium is also used as an additive to alloys. Recently, scientists at Intel and IBM found hafnium-based compounds can be applied in gate insulators to make the processors smaller.
