HOW IS HAFNIUM USED ON DAILY LIFE ???<br />

<strong>Hafnium</strong> is used for nuclear reactor control rods<br />

because of its ability to absorb neutrons and its good<br />

mechanical and corrosion resistance qualities. This<br />

is in complete contrast to zirconium, which although<br />

is chemically is very similar to hafnium, is very poor<br />

at absorbing neutrons.
